Blessed be the LORD ~Psalm 28:6

The Mind of Christ, Part 1

It is said that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and having a mindset like Christ will avert division and disunity.  Bro. Jeff encourages us in our spiritual growth by looking at the division that Paul exposed and the distinctives that Paul explained in Philippians 2.

Philippians 2:1-2 KJV

1 If [there be] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Philippians 4:1-2

1 Corinthians 1:10-11

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. 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Romans 15:5-7

5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6 That ye may with one mind [and] one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

Galatians 5:13-14, 26

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. … 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Romans 5:5

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
