Romans 8:6 (LSB) 6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
The mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.
This is the perfect description of life in Christ for those who choose to live, not with our minds on the flesh and the things of this world, but on the Spirit and the things of God.
In Him is life.
Many wonder why they are not closer to God, or why their life doesn’t produce more fruit.
Most times this can be answered simply by us examining where our heart and mind are focused.
Are they focused on things on the earth, or on things above?
Colossians 3:2 (NKJV) 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
Maybe that is difficult for us. We try, but we can never seem to make the change from earthly things to things above.
How do we make that shift?
We allow God to transform our minds through the power of the Holy Spirit and by spending time in His word DAILY.
God’s word is the vehicle by which He will give us knowledge and understanding. And it is the tool by which He will reshape our thinking.
Don’t let the enemy fool you. You can walk more closely with God.
You can learn of Him.
And you can become fruitful in the Kingdom of God.
Open God’s word diligently each day. Start small and let Him help you grow in it.
Before you know it, you will be hungering and thirsting for it, longing for the next time you can sit and take it in.
And as you do so, your mind will no longer be focused on the flesh and things of earth, but on God and things above.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 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.
