How well i know. Indeed the natural mind is not subject tot he law of God, neither can it be, which is why it is not reformed, but crucified, and overcome by looking to Jesus and yielding to the Spirit. Still working on that myself.
Grace and peace to you in your fight Daniel.
Ditto. It's by the renewing of our minds DAILY and the casting down of old teachings and a preset mindset on the things of God that we grow.
We grow in understanding and in the Ways and Thoughts of God through the reading of His Word.
"And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." Luke 2:52
If a SINLESS man grows in wisdom - how MUCH more us! The fact is we will grow if we hear and obey The Father like Jesus did BUT we MUST renew our minds. Jesus didn't have to because He was SINLESS. He didn't have wrong teachings to content with nor an evil preset mindset. We renew our minds in order to gain HIS KNOWLEDGE, His Ways, His Thoughts ALL through HIS WORD.
Praise GOD for HIS WORD. It's ALL about Jesus - what JESUS The Word says to us and what JESUS Our Savior has done for us!
