CT12 - The Mind That Makes Faithfulness Possible

After the strong calls to faithfulness, unity, and endurance at the end of Philippians 1, Paul turns to the question beneath them all: How is this kind of life possible? In this bridge episode, Philippians 2:1–5 reveals that faithful living is sustained not by willpower, but by adopting the mindset of Christ. Paul grounds unity, humility, and perseverance in what believers have already received in Christ—encouragement, love, and shared life in the Spirit—preparing the way for the powerful example of Jesus that follows.
