The MIND

"The only way the Lord can reach us is through the mind. He deals with us only through the mind. He governs us only through our minds. “With the mind I myself serve the law of God.” And the first of all the commandments is this:

Deuteronomy 6
⁴ Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
⁵ And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

But,

Romans 8
⁷ The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

The carnal mind that cannot be subject to the law of God—cannot be—must be changed, must be exchanged for another mind which always serves the law of God. That change of mind is salvation. That renewing of the mind is wrought by God in the work of His salvation, and it can be wrought by no other." A.T. Jones
