Bible Questions Episode 278 (The Christian Mindset)

In Philippians 2:5, Paul encouraged Christians to have the “mind of Christ” in all things. The Bible teaches is in Genesis 1:27 that mankind was created in the image of God. When we sin, we change that image into a worldly image. In this episode, we will see how to restore our image back into the image of God and how we can have the mind of Christ from a spiritual perspective. We will consider:

• Reshaping our mind and restoring it to the image of God
• Putting our spiritual life in perspective
• Understanding the battle between Spirit and flesh
• Building a spiritual foundation and applying spiritual principles
• Speaking to the Lord through prayer
