Text Box:   “Daily Devote Yourselves to Loving God in Word, Thought & Deed” Part II  “But we have the mind of Christ”    Text:     Romans 8:5-11 Thesis:  Some Faiths believe you sin against God daily in word thought and deed.  I believe scripture teaches us that we can be spiritually pro-active by loving God daily in word, thought and deed.  Jesus said it this way,: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the first and greatest commandment. . And the second is like it:  ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”  (Matthew 22:37-40)    A.  “Those who live according to the sinful nature have their ____________ set on what that nature desires. . . “ (vs. 5a)              1.  “The mind of _________________ man is _____________”  (vs. 6a)              2.  “The sinful mind is _________________ to God.”  (vs. 7a)              3.  Those who live according to their sinful nature will have their              thought lives ___________________.  (“their thinking became futile”              see Romans 1:18-21)              4.  “The __________ says in his heart ‘There is no God.’”               (Psalms 14:1)    B.  “Those who live in accordance with the ______________ have their ____________ set on what the Spirit desires.”  (vs. 5b)              1.  “The mind __________________by the Spirit is life and ________;”                           a.  “Thou wilt keep him in ______________peace, whose mind                           is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in Thee.”                            (Isaiah 23:6 KJV)                           b.  Your ___________________ level will increase with the                           same degree of trust that you place in Jesus.              2.  “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?               But we have the mind of Christ.”  (I Cor. 2:16)              3.  The Holy Spirit will transform your mind if you let Him.               (Romans 12:1-2)
