Having The Mind Of Christ
Those who have the mind of Christ you are able to discern spiritual things that the natural man (or the unbeliever) cannot understand or see. 1 Corinthians 2:16
Do
not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,
that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and
acceptable and perfect" (Romans 12:2). Our minds need to be consistently renewed, moving away
from the mind of the flesh and into the mind of Christ.
Having the mind of
Christ means we “look at
life from our Saviour’s point of view, having His values and desires in mind. It means to think God’s thoughts and not think as the world
thinks.”
The Bible teaches us
that we must first trust Christ as our Savior to receive the Holy Spirit who
enables us to have the mind of Christ. Having the mind of Christ gives the
ability to understand and know the deep things of God , which will help us have
victory in our life and have confidence that we can do all things through Christ
who strength us Philippians 4:13.
Philippians 4: 3- 9. Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious or worried
about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer
and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known
to God. 7 And
the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which
transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts
and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours].
8 Finally believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy
of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word,
whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings
peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is
any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on
these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]. 9 The things
which you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these
things [in daily life], and the God [who is the source] of peace and well-being
will be with you.
