The transfiguration was a physical illustration of what the renewed mind looks like in the spiritual.
Without the renewed mind, we will distort the Scriptures to avoid their radical commands for self-denial, and love, and purity, and supreme satisfaction in Christ alone.
Faith is not opposed to the mind. It’s superior to the mind which is why the renewed mind enhances faith.
Sanctification is the real change in man from the sordidness of sin to the purity of God's image.
You know your mind is renewed when the impossible looks logical.
Some people think they have discernment when actually they are just suspicious. Suspicion comes out of the unrenewed mind; discernment comes out of the renewed spirit.
Only the holy spirit, the spirit of the lord, can transform us.
O that our hearts were enlarged in love to God, that we might turn inward, to the blessed comforter, that the blessed Jesus said the Father would send.
Too many Christians live their lives like slaves - to the devil - because they believe his lies more than they trust God.
It is entirely the work of grace and a benefit conferred by it that our heart is changed from a stony one to one of flesh, that our will is made new, and that we, created anew in heart and mind, at length will what we ought to will.
Christ came to take away our sins, not our minds.
There is no true gospel fruit without faith and repentance.
I think the Creator renews me.
