There are things that I believe in my heart that, sometimes, my mind still questions. However, because my mind is now ”a new mind in Christ Jesus”; it must eventually agree with my heart. 

The Bible tells us to “bring into captivity every thought” which means I can do something about my thought life before my mind presents its own form of deception or prejudice to my heart. 

“As a man thinks in his heart so is he” is another troubling verse of the Bible from Proverbs; it reminds me that I actually do have a choice and will bear some responsibility for that choice. 

Then the Bible even tells me in Philippians 4:8-9 how to think.  
8And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

This is more than just good advice for “mind discipline” to be exercised; it appears to be right next door to a commandment. 

The mind appears to be a dangerously wonderful gift from God, to be managed by man. 

Being able to change your mind is key to controlling your mind. 

‪Being “set in your ways” makes growing in Christ very difficult. ‬

‪Christian maturity requires you to change the way you thought.

as a child, into thinking as the mind of Christ.‬

In order to do justice with our minds, we must think “God thoughts” and then place those thoughts into action mode, thus changing how we live our lives.
