Christ Like Mindset

Christ Like Mindset

 Christ-like character is the ultimate goal of all Christian education. To settle for anything less is to miss the point of spiritual growth. We are to “become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13 NIV).

 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
 Do nothing out of
 selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of
 others. our attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being
 made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he
 humbled himself and became obedient to death– even death on a cross!(Philippians2:3-8)

 2Peter1:5-7 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge; and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness; and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.

 Whenever we choose to respond to a situation in God’s way instead of following our natural inclination, we develop character. For this reason, he allows all kinds of character-building circumstances: conflict, disappointment, difficulty, temptation, times of dryness, and delays.(Rick Warren)

 God builds character in our lives by allowing us to experience situations where we are tempted to do the exact opposite of the character quality. Character development always involves a choice. When we make the right choice, our character grows more like Chris
