Philippians 2:5-13

This is not a full exposition of the passage just a bit of things that stood out during my gleanings in the passage. The main point of the passage: Believers are to become like Jesus by becoming obedient in all areas of life even in admist of trials.
Our Corporate Personality that is those who are in Christ Jesus should take on the likeness of their saviour in all areas of life, while also putting off sin's dominating force: Verse 5 tells us of the command, in verse 12-13 we are reminded again to work out the salvation which God gives to us (Ephesians 2:8-10) because God is the one who is working in his people to will and to act accordingly for His good pleasure.
The Incarnation: Verses 6-7 shows that our Lord Jesus Christ although was Fully God was truly incarnated in the form of a Man. Jesus was both God and Man while tabernacling here on this earth.
The Substitution: Verse 8 tells us that the Substitution was not an act done for no reason. If Christ death was an act of obedience then it shows that there was purpose behind His death. Acts 5:27-28 tells us that His death was not something that was optional. Christ death was a necessary act which God used to bring about His purposes in Salvific History. His death was a Substitionary atonement by which He died on behalf of His people by taking upon Himself the full wrath of God in the payment of sin.Further verse 8 informs us in the words "He humbled himself..." that Christ in reality is the one who layed down His own life. Thus showing purpose in His death. John 10:17-18 tells us this that Christ layes down His own life no one takes it from him, likewise He has the power to take it back up again.
There are other forms of doctrine enlisted in this hymn passage like the glorification of Jesus Christ in which because of His obedience He has recieved the Victory. Which all the demons, sinful men and women and sinful-saints, and the Angels will one day bow down to if not already.
