Precepts for the Mind of Christ

.... Each time Jesus spoke on a topic, we could learn of that topic; but the deeper lessons of His subjectivity could also be gleaned through the very same words. The subjectivity of God was revealed through Christ, and grasping this perspective will provide us with living insights for knowing Him better, that we may become more like Him:

.... ". . . put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him. . . be renewed in the spirit of your mind . . ."

(Colossians 3:10; Ephesians 4:23-24)

.... A careful study of Scripture shows three precepts that will help us understand the subjectivity of Christ more clearly. The first of our precepts, true representation, shows Jesus’ heart and mind through more tangible equivalencies. The second, eternal perspective, offers a basis for interpreting His intentions. These will combine with our third precept, Divine motivation, to translate His perspective into action in accordance with the attitudes of His heart. Taken together, they offer a highly capable framework for understanding His terms of thought.

.... Next to the gospel itself, these precepts are likely to impact your walk with God more than anything else you will ever learn. Each will be discussed in turn over the following postings.
