The Mind of Christ

I heard Bro Knox say in his Mental Health Series a few years ago, You do not have access to a glorified, holy body right now. In fact, you’re told you won’t have access to a sinless body until this body is dead or changed. BUT you do have access to a glorified, holy mind.

Glorified mind is the lowly, meek mind

  • …made himself of no reputation…form of a servant…obedient unto death…made in the likeness of men…
  • Isaiah 53 … a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief…
    • Put Himself into the pit with humanity.
    • Risked being hurt in loving people.
  • Humbleness of mind (Colossians 3:12)

Allow the LORD Jesus Christ to do your thinking

  • Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus… (vs 5)
  • To turn a sinner into a servant of God, the mind has to be corrected. And more so, for that servant of God to faithfully stay in the race to the end of his life, the thinking has to change. It’s called renewing your mind.
    • Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
    • Quit letting the world think for you.
  • We have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16) – So you may not have access to a glorified body, but you do have access to a glorified mind in the pages of scripture.
  • Armed with the mind of Christ (1 Peter 4:1-2) Prepare for battle with the world, the flesh, and devil to either pressure or pleasure you away from the LORD

The reward of Christian Psychology

  • It is the mentality of Christ that leads to the exaltation of Christ.
  • Highly exalted him, Given a name above every name, All knees will bow, Every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
  • 1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
  • Ready mind (1 Peter 5:1-2)
