If the natural man is corrupt in his thinking, if he cannot see things as the Lord would have him to view them, how can anyone ever attain the mind of Christ? How can anyone ever be pleasing to God in his thought life? How can a mere mortal think like God?
A mere mortal can’t think like God, but a mere mortal can turn his life over to God—including his mind—and find himself transformed! When his life is no longer his own, a man moves from glory to glory in Christ. A man rises from a plane of corruptible mortality to a plane of incorruptible immortality.
On that lofty plateau, the Word assures that the believer will, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind so you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God” Romans 12:2. On that high plateau, the wind of the Holy Spirit will sweep away the dust of human thought.
There the Holy Spirit will stir within a man’s mind until He has brought him from the place of human perception to divine perception. When a man’s mind has been renewed, he no longer sees things as the world sees but submits to the removal of the corrupt worldview and its replacement with the divine.
