Apply Philippians 2:3 and Change Your Marriage – Yep, you heard me right: this one verse will change you and your marriage! A few weeks ago, my pastor said that if we really wanted to change the world, we should apply Philippians 2:3 in our marriage. He even went so far as to say that we, as Christians, should make this verse a part of our wedding vows.
For the record, I agree!
Think about how many marriages could be saved!!! How many wounded relationships, broken families, and abused kids could be prevented if we applied Philippians 2:3 to every area of our lives!
I understand that what I am recommending can only be accomplished by having a relationship with Jesus Christ and understanding that loved and accepted by a holy God. You could also get easily confused when reading this verse and think that you are not important. STOP. That is not what this verse is saying. Before you can apply this verse to your marriage, you must understand that you belong to God; you are significant and secure in His love. He isn’t going anywhere; he has a purpose for you!
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit,
but in humility count others
more significant than yourselves.
