The document discusses Paul's letter to the Philippians about having the mindset of Christ. It says that though Christ was equal to God, he humbled himself by taking human form and becoming obedient to death on the cross. As a result, God exalted Christ and commanded that all knees should bow to him. The letter instructs believers to continue working out their salvation with fear and trembling, knowing that God is working in them to fulfill his good purposes. It also says that by overcoming sin and anxiety through faith, believers can shine like stars.

Servants of the Servant Paul’s letter to the Philippians
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 who, being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed – not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence – continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’ Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. Philippians 2: 5 – 16
12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed – not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence – continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
