Pensamentos
A Bíblia ensina que somos fruto dos nossos pensamentos. Por isso, Deus nos chama a renovar a mente, pensar em coisas nobres e guardar o coração com toda diligência.
Pensar no que é bom
Paulo nos exorta a pensar no que é verdadeiro, honesto, justo, puro, amável e de boa fama. A mente renovada é o caminho da transformação.

Guardar a mente
A Palavra de Deus discerne os pensamentos e intenções do coração. Guardar a mente é proteger a alma das armadilhas do pecado.

Os caminhos de Deus são mais altos
Os pensamentos de Deus são infinitamente superiores aos nossos. Devemos entregar nossos pensamentos a Ele e confiar em sua sabedoria.
Pensamento e conduta
Do coração procedem os males. A Bíblia nos adverte a não se preocupar excessivamente e a ter pensamentos sóbrios e disciplinados.
