       I want us to talk about having the mind of the Spirit. So, in the most basic sense, then, this includes thinking right thoughts. When we think wrong thoughts, fleshly thoughts, it produces negativity in our lives. It causes us to experience the emptiness brought on by sin, which Paul here calls and refers to as ‘death.’ We need to eliminate thoughts that are not approved, or would not be approved, by the Spirit. So, the Spirit will enable us to create the mind of Christ within ourselves. We should work at thinking right thoughts instead of wrong thoughts throughout the day. Remember, Paul told us, “whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things” (Philippians 4:8, ESV).
