~ A New Way Of Thinking ~
As
a growing believer one develops a new thought life.
Scripture ~ “I
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable
service. And do not be conformed to this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may
prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans
12:1-2).
“But
you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been
taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your
former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful
lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on
the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and
holiness” (Ephesians 4:20-24).
“But
God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except
the spirit of the man which is in him?
Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the
world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have
been freely given to us by God. These
things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the
Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the
things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know
them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly
judged by no one. For ‘who has known the
mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?’
But we have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:10-16).
Comment ~ Romans 12:2 above references “that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Those who are interested in exploring the will of God in some depth will find the author’s books on the subject very helpful.
