Paul continues talking in the context of teaching on being like-minded. He is additionally taking up the further steps of Jesus, who humbled himself.
Firstly, when we humble ourselves before God, He will exalt us. God exalted Jesus, who had humbled himself in all respects, to the highest place, and gave him the name that is above every name. The principle of God's treatment is to bring the arrogant low, but to exalt the humble.
Secondly, there will be the time when every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. He is coming again, and then, those who do believe and don't will confess that Jesus is Lord.
Thirdly, we can glorify God when we obey Him. It is when we love the LORD and the brothers and sisters in him while we obey God, then we can glorify the LORD.
We always need to confirm where we are standing before God. Let us walk our lives while humbling ourselves before God.
