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 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
15 See then that you walk carefully, not as unwise, but as wise,16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself too highly, beyond what you should think, but to think soberly, as God has imparted to each one 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 "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them, I will compare him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock:
13 Is there anyone wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct [that] his works [are] in meekness of wisdom.
2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of[ ]the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both His eternal power and divinity, so that they are without excuse.
