Mente
A mente é campo de batalha espiritual. A Bíblia nos chama a renovar o entendimento, pensar com sabedoria e buscar a mente de Cristo em todas as áreas da vida.
Amar a Deus com a mente
O maior mandamento inclui amar a Deus com toda a mente. A vida intelectual deve ser consagrada ao Senhor.
37 The and Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love Lord the God of thee, in whole the heart of thee, and in whole the soul of thee, and in whole the mind of thee.
2 the things above mind you, not the things on the earth.
15 See you then, how accurately you walk; not as unwise ones, but as wise ones;16 buying for yourselves the season, because the days evil are.
3 I say for through the favor of that having been given to me, to all to him being among you, not to think above beyond what it behooves to think, but to think in order that to be of sound mind, to each one as the God divided a measure of faith.
Sabedoria e discernimento
A sabedoria é melhor que rubis. Quem a encontra, encontra a vida. A mente sábia discerne, planeja e previne erros.
Construir sobre a rocha
Quem ouve as palavras de Jesus e as pratica é como o sábio que edificou sobre a rocha firme e inabalável.
24 All therefore whoever hears of me the words these, and does them, I will compare him to a man prudent, who will built the house of him upon the rock;
13 Any one wise and discreet among you? let him show out of the honorable conduct the works of himself with meekness of wisdom;
2 Not for I determined any thing to make known among you, if not Jesus Anointed, and this having been crucified.
20 (the things for unseen of him from creation of the world, in the things made being perceived is clearly seen, the both eternal of him power and deity;) in order that to be them inexcusable.
