“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.” (Romans 8:5)
What we focus on determines our actions. Although we live in a natural world, the Bible instructs us to keep our minds on Spiritual things.
“Set you minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.”(Colossians 3:2)
Why do I see so many Christians trying to fit in with this world? We are not supposed to conform to this world (Romans 12:2). We are supposed to be different! We follow our Heavenly Father in what he is instructing us to do. We keep our focus on the spiritual realm. The more we train ourselves in being aware of our spirit and renew our minds to think in line with the Word of God (Ehpesians 4:23), the more we will see ourselves different from the world and begin to act differently than the world does. Why are we so obsessed by what the world is doing that we don’t even realize we are supposed to be different? Not in an inferior way, but rather leading the way in showing how life is meant to be. Christians are the ones who should show what true beauty is. We are the ones who should show what true fun is and how life is supposed to be lived. As long as we conform our minds to think like the world thinks, it will not happen. Only by setting our minds on the spiritual things will we truly understand how we are supposed to live and show others the same thing. The world is craving the truth and only by being different can we help people find this truth!
