You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. ~ 1 Peter 1:13įinally, brothers, 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. Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. ~ 2 Timothy 1:7ĭo not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
(Excerpt from Matthew Henry Commentary)įor God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. It is committed to us, to be preserved pure and entire, yet we must not think to keep it by our own strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us and it will not be gained by those who trust in their own hearts, and lean to their own understandings.
The Christian doctrine is a trust committed to us it is of unspeakable value in itself and will be of unspeakable advantage to us. It is not enough to assent to the sound words, but we must love them. Paul exhorts Timothy to hold fast the Holy Scriptures, the substance of solid gospel truth in them. He also has learned the value and the danger of his soul he also has believed in Christ, and the change wrought in his soul convinces the believer that the Lord Jesus will keep him to his heavenly kingdom. Thou hadst a soul committed to thee how was it employed? in the service of sin, or in the service of Christ? The hope of the lowest real Christian rests on the same foundation as that of the great apostle. There is a day coming when our souls will be inquired after. No one else could deliver and secure his soul through the trials of life and death. The apostle had trusted his life, his soul, and eternal interests, to the Lord Jesus. Those who cleave to the gospel, need not be ashamed, the cause will bear them out but those who oppose it, shall be ashamed. Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
#IN SOUND MIND PILLS LOCATION FREE#
"For freedom Christ has set us free stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery." ( Galatians 5:1) Sound Mind: A Gift of God This is the freedom Christ bestows us, liberating our free will from sin. Along with discerning moral behavior, a sound mind has the self-control (as translated in ESV) and self-discipline (NIV) to behave morally, not being a slave to passions of ego and pride. It is the ability to discern what is good for our soul and what is harmful (sin). Having a sound mind is synonymous with being sane, lucid, and logical.įurthermore, a sound mind in the biblical sense pertains to the understanding of right and wrong. When used as an adjective, sound has the meaning of "sensible, or something that you can rely on and that will probably give good results." Therefore, a " sound mind" is a proper faculty of reason and rationality for humans. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." ~ 2 Timothy 1:7 What Is a Sound Mind?
