Becoming Spiritually Minded

Many people don't see themselves as created beings. Seldom do they ask the really important questions, "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?" When they think of God they imagine Him to be like they want Him to be. They create God in their image. But, the Bible says we are all created in God's image. We are spirit beings, we have a mind and emotions and we live in a body. We were created to be in relationship with God, but because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve we inherited a fallen nature. We were no longer spiritually connected to God. Therefore, Jesus gave his life so we could again gain access to the Father. If we believe in his sacrifice we obtain a new spirit, renewing our relationship with God. This process is called grace and is given freely, not dependent on our efforts. Salvation is just the beginning of our journey towards holiness. Over time we give up our carnal (worldly) mind associated with the wisdom of man and encounter our spiritual mind which is the mind of Christ. We are transformed into His likeness and experience a more meaningful life and supernatural peace.
