Do You Have the Mind of Christ, or the Mind of Satan?

None of us are perpetually flawless, and, because we have all sinned against God, none of us deserve Heaven, but if we call ourselves CHRISTians and want to be where He is, we must do our best to aim for sinless perfection and truly repent when we sin. If you are turned off whenever a Christian or a Christian preacher mentions something about the necessity of obedience to God, I lovingly encourage you to study more about this in the Bible and honestly ask yourself why you have a negative attitude toward obedience. Is that the attitude of Christ, who always obeyed His loving Father, or the attitude of Satan, who continues in rebellion? “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who…humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:5-9; see also 2:12-16; Proverbs 24:16; 28:13; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Matthew 7:21-27; 25:14-46; 28:18-20; Mark 16:16; Luke 6:46-49; 9:23-25; 22:42; John 8:29-31, 44; 14:15, 21-24; 15:10-14; Acts 2:37-41; 8:22-24; 10:6, 34-35, 48; 22:16; Romans 1:5; 6:1-6; 16-18; 11:22; 12:1-2; 16:26; 1 Corinthians 2:16; 6:9-11; 2 Corinthians 5:9-11; 13:5; Galatians 2:20; 5:6, 19-24; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9; 1 Timothy 4:12-13, 15-16; 6:11-14; 2 Timothy 2:15-18; Titus 1:16; 2:11-14; Hebrews 5:9; 10:23-31; James 1:22-27; 2:14-26; 1 Peter 1:13-17; 22; 2:13-25; 3:20-21; 4:1-5; 1 John 1:6—2:6; 3:10; 5:3; Revelation 2:10; 22:14, etc.).
