Paul admonishes us to “let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:5; Rom. 12:2) The carnal (sinning) nature and the mind of Christ are in bitter opposition to one another. “The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (Rom. 8:7). The battle is for the mind and it is our choice which mind we will possess, the mind of Christ that is in alignment with all the will of God, or the mind of Satan that is at enmity with the will of God.
