The Mind Of Christ.
Pini56:
Hello All,
1Co 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
2Co 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
Php 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Php 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than themselves.
Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Col 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
1Pe 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
1Pe 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
1Pe 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
Rom 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
My Question: If this is what we must do, then how do we; how do we attain the Mind of Christ or what is the process we must go through to bring this about.
I look forward to, each his own, answer according to their own experiences. Maybe some of you don’t know and would like to know. I my self am not really sure, but do have some idea. Please keep to the Scriptures or better yet try and relate your experiences to Scripture. I look forward to a good Discussion and that we may all learn from it.
Love to you all, Regards Geoff.

For one thing we need to be vigilant.
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

To me, to have the mind of Christ (by the renewing of our mind) is to think like Our Heavenly Father.
Jesus is our best example, and the Scriptures that quote His Words are our best evidence.
Jesus taught that His Words were not His own, and The Father does The Works.
Jesus said that The Holy Spirit will teach us all Truth.
Our Father said that He will write His Laws on our Hearts and Minds.
Once Our Father drags us out - He starts to show us things.
Once we prove any of His Truths, that particular Truth becomes a part of us - and nothing can remove that Truth - not even Death.
It is a process of learning to be 'Like Him'. One step at a time, through 'suffering'.
In my own experience, I have suffered to get segments of 'His Truth'; and then when that part of 'His truth' was part of me, I lived it, and suffered accordingly.
When you understand that the whole world system works contrary to 'His Laws', and is the exact opposite of His nine-fold Fruit (which are His Spirit and Character); and you start to live your life as He would want you to, then you will prove His Truths more and more - and 'The Mind of Christ' (in you) will continue to change more and more into 'His Image'.
One good example is that we are not to seek vengeance, nor fight evil with evil (but with good).
Only if 'He is within you' can you prove 'His Love' and fulfill 'His Spiritual and Royal Law'.
An easy way to remember this is to 'Love Him with all that you are' and 'Love everyone else as yourself'. Impossible by our means - but it is 'His Commandment for us to obey at all times'.
If I were to summarise what this means, I would put it like this:
"Father, by Your Holy Spirit, please put this Mind of Christ in me -so that in all that I am and do, from the intents and desires of my heart, to my thoughts, and my speech and conduct, I will honour and please you."
I hope this helps you in your search for this particular Truth of Our Almighty Father.
Kind Regards.
George

I think this is the most meaningful thing you said George. None of us received everything in an instant. It takes time.
Joel:
Being a overcomer takes time for sure.
Hebrews 8:10-For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them their God, and they shall be to me a people:
11-And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Hebrews 9:How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Joel
