Spiritually Mindedness

Jesus taught, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’” [1]

There is a naturalization process to enter God’s Kingdom. We must believe in the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who became an atoning sacrifice for us. Only Jesus gives the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the One who births people anew so that we have a new heart and spirit to honor God.

“Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” [2]

“Dear Heavenly Father, during these perilous days of evil reports, thank You for the Good News that our Redeemer lives. Thank You for the gift of the transforming Holy Spirit. Thank You for spiritual rebirth and mindedness.”

[2] Romans 8:5-9
