Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 2:5

As I read that verse, I am reminded of the many books that my eyes have looked upon, and many of those books I have read portions of from time to time. 

Of those books that I have read, some of them, I knew a little bit about the authors, but I have never met them personally. I remember many years ago, shaking hands with Dr. Jack Van Impe and on that particular day he signed my Bible, but I never really knew him in a personal way.

But as I look at that verse in Philippians 2:5, I’m glad that I know the Lord Jesus Christ in a personal way because He saved my soul and came into my heart about 10 years ago during the Burlington revival in Burlington, North Carolina.

This verse says to let this mind be in you as it was also in Christ Jesus…

It is very easy to say that they believe in God and that they believe in Jesus and because of it, they believe that everything is OK.

Did you know that even the devils know and believe in Jesus, but they also know their days are limited.  (Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. James 2:19)

Many believe that there is a God and yes, they believe in Jesus, but they have never accepted him into their life. They’ve never asked Christ to forgive them of their sins in repentance and come into their hearts.

I certainly read my Bible, but I know it’s different now since I’ve been saved because unlike before I got saved, now I know the author.

If you wish to have a mind and a heart that God is pleased with, you must be born into the family of God.

I believe in Him, but I know him, the Lord Jesus Christ, in a personal way, and I pray you can say the same. May God bless you.
