| Mind
God
has given us minds to make decisions, think great thoughts and control
our lives. But our minds are not only ours to control. They can be controlled
by our sin or by the Holy Spirit. If our intellect is controlled by sin,
we will make poor decisions. If the Holy Spirit controls our minds, we
live in a way that pleases God. We can actually have the "mind of
Christ," which leads us to a greater relationship with him.
The
mind controlled by sin is corrupt.
Romans 8:1-17
1 Timothy 6:5

The
mind controlled by the Holy Spirit finds peace.

Philippians 4:7
Jesus Christ is our example.
