“…no eye has seen…no ear has heard…no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him— these are the things GOD HAS REVEALED TO US BY HIS SPIRIT. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God…no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED IS…THE SPIRIT WHO IS FROM GOD, SO THAT WE MAY UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD HAS FREELY GIVEN US…WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.” (1 Corin. 2:9-12, 16) We are Christ-minded because we have been, “…transformed by the RENEWING OF OUR MIND…” (Rom. 12:2) This is a divine transformation, as a result we become, “…A NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, ALL THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW.” (2 Corin. 5:17)
We experience all this because, “…if there is any encouragement…in Christ…LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS…” (Phil. 2:1-2, 5)
LET’S BE SURE THAT WE ARE THINKING CHRIST–LIKE THOUGHTS…
