Set your mind on things aboveColossians 3 instructs us to set our minds on things above rather than earthly things, much like Romans 12 warns against being conformed to this world.
Recognizing our position in ChristBecause God has positionally raised us up and seated us in the heavenly places with Christ, our thinking must align with this heavenly reality.
The daily battle of mental disciplineTraining our minds to reject natural tendencies and think from a heavenly perspective is initially a struggle, but over time it becomes an effortless habit.
Responding to unexpected bad newsWhen surprises and trials strike, remembering that God knew about them beforehand and allowed them for a wonderful purpose brings our minds to rest.
Remembering that God is in control and the devil is defeatedWe must constantly remind ourselves that God remains in control of the universe and that every demon was defeated at the cross 2,000 years ago.
Overcoming fear with eternal realitiesFear is the opposite of faith, and the devil uses unexpected challenges to make us forget eternal facts like God's sovereignty and our forgiveness.
The disciple whom Jesus lovesViewing ourselves as God's favorite children who are intimately loved by Jesus brings profound comfort and keeps our hearts at rest.
Living so the world sees God's loveJesus prayed that we would live in such a way that the world recognizes the Father loves us just as He loves Jesus.John 17:23
Jesus never lacks a solutionNo one ever came to Jesus with a problem He could not solve, and He remains the same yesterday, today, and forever.
