In Chapter 2, Paul commends Timothy, who took a genuine interest in the welfare of the Philippians. Paul goes on to say that it is related to looking out for the interests of Christ.
It is pretty simple. When we look out for the interests of Christ - do what pleases Him - we will supernaturally look out for our Christian brothers first, and others, too. We begin to live an others-centered life - self-forgetting.
We do so when we get comfort from Christ's love. The Christ Hymn right before in Chapter 2 speaks of all that Jesus has done for us. As we understand Christ's love for us, we respond in love - live to please Him - by serving others.
Now, go for it!
