May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.
Romans 15:5 (NIV)
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.
Paul is writing to a divided church in Rome. Jewish and Gentile believers were struggling to stay unified. Paul reminds them that God is the source of endurance and encouragement. He calls them to treat each other with the same mindset Christ showed. Unity was not based on preference or personality. It was based on God’s character and the example of Jesus.
Men face tension at home, at work, and in friendships. Stress makes patience short. Misunderstandings can create distance. This verse points men to a higher standard. God supplies the endurance and encouragement needed to respond with grace. You do not create unity alone. You ask God to shape your attitude so your responses reflect Christ.
Pray for the mindset of Jesus today. Let God supply the endurance you need for the people around you. Walk with patience and strength that does not come from you.
Romans 15:5 (NIV)
Give Me the Mind of Christ
