IS OUR ATTITUDE CHRIST LIKE OR OF THE WORLD

Believers with the right attitude will benefit from the Word of God. We must bring a good attitude when studying the Word; we need God's strength, guidance, wisdom, and knowledge to receive His Word. Acts 20:32) Paul tells us: so now brethren, I commend you to God and to the Word of His grace, which can strengthen us and give us the inheritance and power of His promise. If we go to God's Word with the right attitude, His Words will develop in us Fruit as we study and implement the Word in our lives.  Studies show that the right attitude actually has a positive effect on your atmosphere, combat aging, and makes you healthier

Philippians 2:1-30 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to our own interests but also to the benefit of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus

Father, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with You through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Christ, we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of You.   Lord, more than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame because Your love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit and Your Word which You have given to us. Lord, let us have the right attitude when we approach You so we may receive Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement Your commands into our lives, and help others.  Father, help us understand that You, a King came to serve the weak, and the poor in spirit; and Your followers are servants too, so let us not think too highly of ourselves. Lord, open our hearts and minds and fill them with Your Spirit; so we may become the people You created us to be, in Jesus name, Amen
