An excerpt from "Compelling Truth.org" entitled, "What does it mean to have the mind of Christ?" states: "Any and every believer has access to the mind of Christ through faith. However, we also still have the old mind. We still give in to the lure of sin. We may also be hindered by false doctrines (Galatians 5:7-12) or choose to use our freedom in unhealthy ways (Galatians 5:13-15). This is why Paul exhorts the Roman believers, "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect" (Romans 12:2). Our minds need to be consistently renewed, moving away from the mind of the flesh and into the mind of Christ. Ultimately, all who have the mind of Christ, those who belong to God, will be sanctified, or changed by the new program that has been installed by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 2:19; Hebrews 10:10, 14). The process unfolds over a lifetime and God is faithful to bring it to completion (Philippians 1:6)." This article may be viewed at: What does it mean to have the mind of Christ?/compellingtruth.org
