Only in the present age can people and evil spirits join with the devil to oppose Christ’s rule. Every effort to stand against Christ will certainly fail (Psalm 2; Psalm 110). Christ will defeat all his enemies (Revelation 19:11-21) and he will be the judge of all (Revelation 20:11-15). No enemy can ever escape his power (1 Corinthians 15:25-26). Christ’s rule will never end (Luke 1:33). From: usefulbible.com – by Keith Simons

Summary: Christ’s Example of Humility, Lights in the World
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ~ Philippians 2:3-11
