DAY 21 - Here we are at last! We are at end of our journey together on the road to knowing that we have the mind of Christ. And yet we have only begun the journey. From this day forward say with me: "I have the mind of Christ! I do believe it and I will now live out this wonderful truth in my life!"

We started out with one of the most revolutionary thoughts in all of Paul's writings. "But we have the mind of Christ" (1 Cor. 2:16 NIV). The Amplified New Testament expands that to: "But we have the mind of Christ, the Messiah, and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart." Now it up to you to "hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart." God has graciously given you the mind of Christ. That's what sets you apart as a Christian. That's what makes you different from "the natural, nonspiritual man" (v. 14 Amplified). Someone has said, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." How much more terrible would it be to waste the mind of Christ?! Don't let that happen to you. Review the 21 days we have devoted to this triumphant theme. Never go back to thinking like a carnal person thinks. You have the mind of Christ. Affirm that amazing truth. Believe it with all your heart and live it out with all your strength!

Hymn: "To him that o'er-cometh, God giveth a crown; through faith we will conquer, though often cast down; He who is our Savior, our strength will renew; look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through. Ask the Savior to help you, comfort, strengthen, and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through!" (Dr. H. R. Palmer)
