‘We must learn to express this new life within us,
which comes by forming the mind of Christ (see Philippians
2:5). […] The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination
lived out in our flesh.’ CHAMBERS
Having the mind of Christ. Seeing the world the way He does. Responding to the world the way He did. Relating to the Father the way He is. Romans
8:29 says “For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed
to the image of His Son” God intends for
us to be like Jesus. The only way we can
be like to Jesus is to know Jesus … to think that way He thinks … to want what
He wants … and that was to do the will of the Father. Romans 12:1,2 says that we should not, any
longer, be conformed to this world .. but be transformed by the renewing on our
minds … to think like Jesus .. to have the mind of Christ. I can tell you, the worldly part of you does
not want to make room for that. You have
to crowd the world out by filling your thoughts with those things that honor
God .. with His word ….
Philippians
4:6-9 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren,
whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and
if anything worthy of praise, dwell on
these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen
in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.”
So there you have it!
