Is Your Mind Nurtured?
How can one walk by faith if their mind
is not nurtured, built up and fed by God’s Word? If one is going to walk by
and in faith then they have to have that trust and confidence in God, His
Word, and His promises.
Williams New Testament translation
of 2 Corinthians 5:7
(for here I live by what I believe
and not by what I see),
How do you live? Is your mind nurtured by
the things that are not seen, the Spiritual insight given in Christ?
Those things that you can see are
temporal and not eternal. They will perish with time, waxing old as an old
garment. But when you put on Christ, His vesture (a new and living way), and
continue in Him minding the Spirit, your mind is nurtured and your faith matures;
because you are living more each day by what you believe to be true through
the leading of the Spirit, and not by those fleeting fleshly thoughts which
can lead to doubt and unbelief. Walking, living, breathing in Him, enables
us to continue in the faith grounded and settled; knowing that our
salvation, our deliverance, is in Christ; and it nurtures our mind.
Colossians 1:23 [If ye continue in the
faith] This will be the case if you, who have already believed in Christ
Jesus, continue in that faith, grounded in the knowledge and love of
God, and settled – made firm and perseveringly steadfast, in that
state of salvation. (from Adam Clarke Commentary)
This brings us to that state of salvation,
which is, remaining seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
