Devotional: From Faith in Christ to the Faith of Christ
Philippians 2:5–11 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (ESV)
There's a profound difference between having faith in Christ and possessing the faith of Christ. While believing in Jesus is the starting point, our goal is to grow into His likeness, adopting His perspective and trust in the Father. Consider how Jesus, though fully God, humbly submitted to the Father's will. In what areas of your life do you struggle to fully trust God's plan? Ask the Holy Spirit to help you move beyond mere intellectual belief to a deep, transformative faith that mirrors Christ's own trust in the Father.
