Made Like Him - The Mind The Mind of Christ 1. Christ came to earth to die for our sins. But he also came to show us how we must live. Heb. 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. We must have the same mind that Christ had. 2. Having the mind of Christ is not easy because it requires a totally different mind set than we are born with. The mind that we have at birth is a mind that is carnal and seeks to satisfy itself. It does not know God and does not reverence him. It only seeks to please the flesh and seeks after the things of the world. Rom. 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 3. This is why we must be born again. We must be totally renewed and our minds must be changed. Even though we will always have carnal desires, we must replace our carnal thoughts with spiritual thoughts. Rom. 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. 4. With some people that may require a whole new thought process because some people were born into curses or demonic generational heresies. Their minds are subject to their surroundings, environment, or wayward teachings and examples. Their carnal thoughts override their own conscience and alters their code of morality. 5. The reason that Christ only served God and never sinned was because he never allowed his carnal thoughts to override his spiritual thoughts. Christ never gave his carnal needs authority over the will of his father. This is how we have the same mind that was in Christ dwelling within us. We must completely submit to God. We must yield our minds to God and not our own flesh. Rom. 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. ©2013 G.
