Philippians 2:5-11

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

We aren’t told to be humble and are expect to just know what or how.  Jesus, who is God, who was with God the Father in the beginning (John 1:1-3), first showed us how, He made Himself into the form of a man, born of a human.  He put away all the power that He had as God and humbled Himself to do the will of God the Father, to die on the cross and bring salvation to us.

9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus, the perfect Man, who humbled Himself to the point of death is exalted by God, He now sits at the right hand of God in Heaven and He will rule and reign in the Millennium and in the new Earth. (Revelation 20:4, Revelation 21:5-7)  Every man and beast, even those who do not believe now, will acknowledge that He is God.
