FATHER IS HIGHER THAN HIS SON
Philippians 2.6
"He Who existed in the Form of GOD..." Christ is the Image of GOD His Father. The image always reflects the form of one who is the original form. So, Jesus the Image of GOD reflected and displayed the Original Form of His GOD Father in Himself and subsequently became GOD Himself.
Without Reflection of Image will be no Image. Reflection cannot be equivalent to the Original Image because it is only Reflection. So as long as the Original Image exist, His Reflection will also exist.
"did not regard equality with GOD..." means Jesus, the Reflection of His GOD Father, became the Servant of His Father (7) and of entire humanity as well by serving the Gospel and by Self-Sacrifice.
~ Christ as the Servant of His GOD Father: (Isaiah 42.1, 52.13, 53.11) (Zechariah 3.8) (Matthew 12.17-18) (Mark 10.45) (Acts 3.13.26, 4.27.30) (Romans 15.8) (Philippians 2.6-7).
~ Father is Higher than His Son: (John 13.16) (John 14.28) (Ephesians 4.15) (Philippians 2.6-7).
Jesus so much humble Himself before His Father and the people, even to the point of Death on a cross (8). This serve as a good example for all of us to be like our Lord and GOD Jesus, Who humble Himself before His Father in His full obedience to Him and willingly Sacrifice Own earthly Life to His GOD Father for our sins and iniquities.
SUBMISSION OF THE WORLD
Philippians 2.9-11
These passages of Paul are prophetic passages and depict the Second Coming of Christ as the GOD and ultimate Ruler and the King of entire World, Spiritual and Physical.
All people of the Earth will recognize it and will confess and bow before GOD Jesus Christ and His Father (Isaiah 45.23) (Romans 14.11) (Philippians 2.10-11) (Hebrews 6.13).
It was written before, but Paul, not only as a teacher but also as the prophet reminded readers of his messages about Second coming of Christ, in order for us to be prepare and to be ready at any time to welcome our Lord Jesus Christ and humble ourselves before Him.
FEAR OF GOD AND THE LIGHT
Philippians 2.12
Fear of GOD is the essential part in our worship and service of our Lord. True Wisdom starts in us from the Fear of the Lord and continues until we meet Him in Heaven. Fear of the Lord prevent us against sin, transgressions, iniquities, and violations of His Word. Fear of the Lord is the true Wisdom and those who have it will be blessed and will have Eternal Life.
So, the words of Paul "work out your salvation with Fear and Trembling," are true Wisdom that he had received from GOD to encourage us to Fear the Lord our GOD and stay Spiritually clean and holy in His sight, in order to be the children of GOD (15).
We must remember that by knowing and understanding the Gospel of Christ we became the Light to the World of Darkness, and our Light of Christ must shine in Darkness to attract all those who are living in the Darkness of this World (15-16).
And so, as Paul mentioned number of times, run your race not in vain but with a good result, so cross the finish line at which your GOD prepared a reward for you. Do not cut corners and do not cheat but make your effort to finish the race as Paul himself did and receive your own Eternal glory among the holy men (angels) of Heaven (16).
~ Run the race: (1Corinthians 9.24-27) (Galatians 2.2, 5.7) (Philippians 2.16).
