In Romans 12:2 Paul tells us that we are to renew our mind.
This means.... the BORN AGAIN.....are to come into the right understanding, regarding revelation knowledge, of who we have become, (Born again) as = the "righteousness of God in Christ".
Paul teaches that when we have this right mind, we have become this.>..""""as many as be perfect"""".
If we dont yet have the renewed mind, then we will THINK "Christianity" according to the world's viewpoint.
And this is the carnal mind of the Flesh.
Its only by the renewing our mind, that we gain and always keep God's perspective of who we have become as a "new Creation", so that we can escape the flow of the world = which is the lust of the world. And once we have the renewed mind... we no longer exist in a struggle to try to be like Christ, but instead we find POWER in the Rest that is God's Grace that provides us with this....= "Christ always Gives ME THE VICTORY", over the world, the flesh, and the Devil.
To have the renewed mind, you have to understand, discern, 3 things, perfectly.
When you have, you have "worked out your Salvation" that God provided to you for FREE, as "the Gift of Salvation" that is "The Gift of Righteousness".
1.) You have to understand what Jesus meant when He said.......from the Cross....>"IT is Finished".
So, what is "IT"?
It is your entire Eternal Salvation.
As "IT" has already been purchased by Christ's Death and Blood. And this that He has provided for you, from the Cross, is your Eternal Salvation.
Jesus completed your Eternal Salvation 2000 yrs ago, and rose from the dead to prove it.
Therefore, If you have gone to the Cross, by faith, believing/receiving Christ as your Savior, then God has given to you HIS = "the Gift of Salvation".
This provides complete redemption from all your sin, .... the HOLY Spirit birthing of your spirit as born again regenerated into God's Spirit, and you now have Eternal Life.
Your born again Spirit has now become : "ONE with God"...."made righteous"...>"in Christ"...... "seated in Heavenly places".
When you can understand this, is when you BELIEVE IT.....and right then you have achieved a large part of the renewed mind, and you'll stop trying to be good and do right, to try to be accepted by God, wrongly believing that Salvation is yours to complete, which is the wrong mind.
2.) You have to understand the difference between being SAVED, and discipleship.
Being SAVED, is to be redeemed, is to be born again, and this is based only on the finished work of Jesus on the Cross that God has provided to you, through your faith in Christ.
God saved you THROUGH your faith. You gave God your Faith and through your faith God SAVED you.
This is the "Gift of Salvation" and God on the Cross finished this for you, 2000 yrs ago, which is Why Jesus told you....."IT IS Finished".
You dont start or finish Salvation, as Christ did that already on The Cross for you, reader.... You only RECEIVE IT through faith..... from God.....
""""as "the Gift of Salvation".
Your DISCIPLESHIP on the other hand..... is your daily walk of Faith. Its this..>>"present your body as a living sacrifice to God".....daily, constantly.
That is what YOU do, because you have already RECEIVED "the Gift of Salvation"""" that was completed for you 2000 yrs ago by GOD on the Cross.
And when you can understand that these 2 are separate,... that Salvation is CHRIST and your discipleship is "present your body to God, sacrifically".... then you have achieved another level of revelation, that is related to "renewing your mind".
3.) Most Important.
You have to understand that your body and your mind, are not redeemed.
Your body and your mind are not "saved" or born again. Its only your SPIRIT that is Born Again. Its only your born again SPIRIT that is "In Christ"...>"one with God".....and its only your SPIRIT< born again, that is the Son/Daughter Of God "in Christ".
See that?
That is the REAL YOU, that is born again.....as "your body is DEAD because of SIN" and is going into a hole in the ground, reader....., and your mind has to be renewed.
Now here is the Revelation....
= God only SEES your born again Spirit as His redeemed, as His Son/Daughter., as this alone.... is the "new Creation in Christ'.
And you have to begin to SEE yourself as only the same, and when you get this revelation, then you and GOD have the same MIND regarding who you have become "in Christ" "made righteous", "ONE with God"......Born AGAIN.
This is the final part of "as many as be Perfect"..... as this completes the renewing of your mind when you BELIEVE IT.
And when you have all this as your FAITH, as your renewed mind..... then you have started your real walk of Faith, and you have for the very first time put on "the Armor of God" and have literally "worked out your Salvation".
Now, until you come to this revelation i just showed you, then you are in the mind of the flesh, and you'll have no power to live sustained Holiness, and you'll only continue to wrongly believe that Salvation is strictly related to self effort, water baptism, confessing sin, works, commandments, penance, law, and performance.
God bless you to see it.
