Putting on the Mind of Christ
Diamond on Jun 10th 2023
Paul teaches us in Philippians 2 the importance of being "Found in Christ". With three points. To be found in comfort of love, compassion, and mercy. These three points is what separates Christ humility and the believers humility. Putting on the mind of Christ is being in unity with one another, not doing things out of shrife, not boasting in our own self and interests, but also the interest of others. He ended with, "Let this mind be in you all, which was also in Christ Jesus.
The ways of life sometimes can create this narrative "I had to do this alone". Which is a lie from the enemy. People love to quote "John 3:16" and still live in that narrative. When God sent His son for us, He was displaying the ultimate act of Love, Compassion, and Mercy. To live in that narrative as if we are still doing "Life" alone contradicts the Word of God. It would make John 3:16 to be a lie. Which we know its NOT! Putting on the mind of Christ, is changing your complete narrative and perception of the way you "DO" life. We we're not sent to live in the earth to do life, but to live and enjoy life and to have it more abundantly. Through the perfect will of God.
One might ask, "How do I change my perception or narrative on life"? The lovely answer to that is, digging deep into the Word of God. Romans 12:2 tells us to be "Transformed by the renewing of our mind". It is the word of God that does the transforming inside of us first then outwardly after. When we begin to hide the word of God in our hearts and begin to know. Who we are and Whose we are threw Christ. We start to see and live life through the eyes and will of the Father. It's never too late to start living out and becoming one in Christ. He excitedly waits and yearns for us to come and have relationship with Him. Completely learning in our everyday walk how to become more and more like Him while we're here. This life and the situations you've may have gone through do not define you. Christ defines us! His strength, His Love, His Compassion, His Mercy, His Humility, His Spirit, His Joy and so on. We are overcomers of this life because He "FIRST" overcame it. In choosing us first and loving us first. Helps us to know we are defined and found in Him! So, we are to have the same mind/ thinking as Him.
I encourage you to allow the Lord to transform your mind in Him today. He's always been right there waiting for you!
