Having The Mind Of Christ

"But we have the mind of Christ". (1 Cor 2:16) Paul tells the Corinthians that they have the "mind of Christ". Our Soverign Lord places at the disposal of all his children his pure and perfect mind. He opens his mind to us; we must open our mind to Him.

We have the mind of Christ. What a powerful statement. Too many Christians do not know what this phrase means. To have the mind of Christ must indicate that we don’t think and operate quite the way we did in former times. In order to have the mind of Christ, we are going to have to present ourselves to God for a transforming of our very carnal minds. But the fact that the Bible tells us that we have the mind of Christ is indicative of the fact that the work of transformation is possible and we can think differently than we used to. Hallelujah. When we have the mind of Christ we will begin to see things the way they really are in the eyes of God, rather than how we imagine they are.

1.  A Mind Of Love

 Philippians 2:1-2 “Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, ²fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.”

 2.  A Mind Desiring Fellowhip

Philippians 2:3-4 “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. ⁴Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”

3.  A Mind Of Humility

 

Philippians 2:8 “And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.”

4.  A Mind Of A Servant

Philippians 2:5-7 “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, ⁶who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, ⁷but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.”
