"Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had." Philippians 2:3-5 NLT
From 1Cor. 2:14-16 we know that only those who have the mind of Christ can ever be spiritual and that canal men can not claim to have the mind of Christ.
But in the New Living Translation, Philippians 2:5 puts having the mind of Christ as "having same attitude that Christ had". He was never selfish, never trying to impress others by rendering eye services; He does the will of the Father with the whole of His being whether anyone takes notice of Him or not, He was humble, He didn't think of Himself alone but of others also; putting the salvation of mankind above His personal pursuits. Those are few things out of what the mind of Christ made Him do.
O comrade, do you claim to have the mind of Christ? Check if these qualities of the mind of Christ are truly finding expression in and through you.
Having the mind of Christ is not an automatic thing, we have to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to work on us until our minds resonate with that of the Holy Spirit to have it.
I see the Lord helping us as we choose to cooperate with Him today. May we all go beyond mere confession of having this mind that Christ had to truly having and expressing it in Jesus' name.
Shalom.
