PHIL. 3:15-16 Mature Christian Thinking
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
To Mind is not just mental attention, but thought and life regulated by a given perspective.
...Literal translation of verse 16 "Only to what you have attained with the same keep in line"
I have been so taken and encouraged and convicted by these two verses in the context of this passage. There is Exhortation and Consolation. We have much to thank and praise God for Maturing us in spiritual things. And if we are not there yet God will not leave us in the dark. We began by trusting Christ and we must continue to trust Christ. He is our ALL in ALL.
Nothing like Expositional Preaching
