When We Need The Mind Of Christ – By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi

🌺Beloved, the Bible teaches that believers need the “mind of Christ” to discern spiritual truths, live according to God’s will, and perceive the world through a Gospel-focused lens, not just in times of trial but in all of life, because the Holy Spirit provides believers with this capacity to have the mind of Christ as we surrender our will to His will.

πŸ“’1 Corinthians 2:16 AMP tells us…

β­•οΈβ€œFor who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes].”

🌺The mind of Christ is needed to understand and respond to difficult or uncomfortable topics in the world through a Gospel-centered perspective.

🌺Jesus is our example in how to suffer for the glory of God.

🌺The mind of Christ helps us to persevere, endure and trust God amidst our suffering as we seek that God is glorified, even in our suffering.

πŸ“’In 1 Peter 4:1 AMP Peter encouraged believers to…

β­•οΈβ€œTherefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh [and died for us], arm yourselves [like warriors] with the same purpose [being willing to suffer for doing what is right and pleasing God], because whoever has suffered in the flesh [being like-minded with Christ] is done with [intentional] sin [having stopped pleasing the world],”

🌺The mind of Christ gives us a balanced godly perspective when offenses come our way.

🌺It allows us to forgive our offenders and cultivate a habit of forgiveness, which frees us to manifest in the glory of God.

🌺The mind of Christ allows believers to understand and believe spiritual truths that the non-believer cannot comprehend, because the Spirit guides them into all truth.

🌺The mind of Christ is crucial for replacing false thoughts with the truth of God’s Word and for triumphing over sin.
