When was the last time you did something that you
know wasn’t pleasing to God? Ask yourself why you did
it? Did you do it knowing in advance that it was outside
of God’s will.? Was it just a slip up? Maybe you
deliberately said something to hurt someone. Perhaps
it’s a habit you can’t seem to break…..the spirit is
willing, but the flesh is weak.
We will not achieve a completely sinless life in this
world, but God has given us some help to conquer sin and
become more like Jesus.
Everything you do in your life passes through your brain
first. So it makes perfect sense that you must retrain
your brain if you want to refresh your flesh. You will
never be able to change your lifestyle permanently until
you renew your mind.
Paul makes it very clear in Romans 12:2 and Philippians
4:8 as well as other passages that your mind is the key
to changing your lifestyle. Jesus’ mindset was one of
humility (Phil. 2), and we are told to have the same
mind.
God will renew your mind, so that your life will be
transformed into the image of Jesus, if you allow Him.
What could be better!
Love,
Terry
