When you were born again, you became a new creation and a partaker of God's divine nature.. That immediately made it possible for you to know the mind of God and have access to his thoughts.. No wonder the Contemporary English Version says '' we understand what christ is thinking '' (2 corinthians 2:16).. That's because as christians, we have the mind of christ.. The realities of Gods Kingdom are no longer a mystery to us since we've been brought into God's class of being, we can now function and reason like him...
Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (colossians 3:16).. As you learn God's word and store it in your heart, it influences the character of your thoughts.. You become conditioned to thinking God's thoughts.. To some folks, God is a mysterious and unpredictable personality, whose ways are past finding out... Such folks love to quote the words of the prophet Isaiah: '' my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, said the LORD... For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts '' (Isaiah 55:8-9)...
The scripture addressed the Old Testament folks that weren't born again.. Today, in New Testament, the Bible declares that we have the mind of Christ; that means his ways have become our ways, and his thoughts have become our thoughts...
Get acquainted with the Lord through his words; the more you know him, the more his nature and thoughts are revealed to you, and you'll understand his ways...
Scripture Reading
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16)..
