Renew your mind

What differentiates a Christian from non-believer?

The answer is the difference in perspective, values, goals, simply put, the mind set.

The lack of difference in the mind keeps us the same, which we are stuck in the cycle of sin, doing the same thing, over and over again.

Today, we reminded of an important aspect of Christian living, which is the renewal of the mind.

In order to truly serve God, and live a Godly lifestyle, it is important that you have a constantly renewed mind.

Ephesians 4:22-24 says, "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."

How do you renew your mind?

You do this by soaking yourself with knowledge from the blueprint, which is the Bible, and personifying the characteristics of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 4:25 -32 instructs, "Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands,that they may have something to share with those in need.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
