Christians are commanded in Scripture to study to show ourselves approved so that we can rightly divide the Word of Truth. This task involves continual study of the Bible.

It is our duty to examine and re-examine the Bible as we grow in spiritual maturity, and as we do this we need to be objective enough to weed out our presuppositions that are wrong and replace them with the truth. This gradual ascent to the true meaning of the Bible is called the hermeneutical spiral.

Philippians 2:1-2

"If there is any consolation of love, fellowship of the Spirit, affection, compassion, then be of the same mind, with the same love united in spirit, with one purpose."

We so often focus on the next two verses (3 and 4) in this chapter that I think the wisdom of the first two verses sometimes get skipped.
