God's word says, if we have the Spirit of Christ, we also have the mind if Christ.

If we have a gifted teacher, we may be lucky enough to know what happens when we receive the Spirit of Christ. There are many good examples!

But the mind of Christ, doesn't give even a clue what happens when we receive this gift. So what this means, is we must have the accual experience to know what happens.

This could be a good litmus test to make sure we are " in Faith".

So the question, what happens when we receive the Mind of Christ, and what's it like to live with it every day?

We have a gifted teacher.

The Teacher we have is the Author of the entire Bible, and He dwells in us, and longs to lead us and guide us into the truth.


Since we all have the same Teacher, who teaches all the things that are found within the scriptures, we would expect that we all would be in unity about these things.


But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. 1 John 2:27


This is the promise of the New Covenant, whereby the Lord Himself will teach us, and we will “know Him”.


But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:33-34


The Lord desires a personal one on one relationship with us;
for us to “know Him”, to be joined to Him, to learn directly from Him, the way Adam was supposed to learn.


He desires us to walk with Him, to walk in His presence and learn from Him, to enjoy His fellowship, and be taught of Him.


He is our Teacher.

We can trust Him.

He will never reject us, or lead us astray.


He suffered and died on the cross, so we could be cleansed of sin, SO THAT He could dwell in us, and be near us, to teach us, and impart His Life to us as we yield and surrender to Him.


as t is written —


I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

So the question, what happens when we receive the Mind of Christ, and what's it like to live with it every day?
 
David was a man "after God's own heart".
He had the Holy Spirit within him. Begged God not to remove it in the 57th or 51st Psalm.

Lots of good references to what happens when the Holy Spirit is sealed into the faither.

So back to the question, what happens when we receive the Mind of Christ, and what's it like to live with it every day?

How can we have the mind of Christ like Paul and the Apostles if we don’t have Christ to renew our mind with His doctrine?


Are you somehow insinuating that we all have the mind of Christ while we have minds that are not yet renewed?


And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2


Transformation takes place as we renew our mind with the truth.

He is the truth.

Every word that proceeds out of His mouth is truth.

His Commandments

Please share the Scripture that says this?

1 Cor. 2:13-16
13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[a] 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for,

“Who has known the mind of the Lord
so as to instruct him?”
But we have the mind of Christ.



Philippians 2:5-11 King James Version (KJV)
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
 
the scripture does tell us we have the mind of Christ and yes this mind has to be renewed . im fixing go bed will give script later

There's no scripture that tells us what happens when we receive the mind of Christ and what it's like to live with it every day. So seeing we can only know the answers to those questions if we have the accual experience, I'm asking for that personal experience and understanding.

Yes exactly.

Paul is exhorting them to “let this mind be in you”.

It takes us yielding to, or surrendering to the Spirit of Christ, whereby He is formed in us.

My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you, Galatians 4:19


Having the mind of Christ, whereby we think and understand the way He does, is a process.

Maybe there is? How about Romans 8:1-6 (NKJV) Does this possibly answer the question?
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,
4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 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, the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

If we have the mind of Christ, it’s because Christ is in us, teaching us, and leading us according to the Spirit, and inspiring us to practice righteousness, and obey the truth; to walk in love.


If we are surrendered to Christ everyday, then we should be growing up into Him; into full stature sonship.

  • that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love



And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-15



This means believing and practicing His teachings.


Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 2 John 9


Are we teaching and practicing the doctrine of Christ?

No specific answer to my question?
 
I gave you my answer.

Awaiting your response.



JLB

Your personal experience? Since scripture doesn't give this answer.
