Philippians 2:4 (NKJV) 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
We need to look out for ourselves for sure. But it doesn’t stop there. The church needs to consider the wellbeing of others too.
We, as believers in Christ individually, make up the church. So, on a personal level we need to make this adjustment in our daily lives and routines.
If we know a brother and sister in Christ who is in need, we must reach out and help them as much as we can.
The Holy Spirit will guide us as to how we can assist them. He will give us wisdom in letting us know what will work best for both of us.
We cannot continue to live selfishly, or with a conceited attitude, as a believer in Christ. This is not the right behavior to have. Instead, we need to consider others more important than ourselves.
It is something that will come as we draw near to God and grow as a believer. We will learn to live unselfishly.
Our hearts will be more willing to give than to receive. It will become more natural to see a need and want to help.
Acts 20:35 (NKJV) 35 I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
