The Foundation

When Christ came to earth He explained that this different way of thinking would—through the power of the Holy Spirit—produce the fruit of righteous actions and deeds. He taught that God's way is the way of giving rather than the normal, selfish human way of getting (Luke 6:38; Acts 20:35).

How did Paul contrast these two ways of thinking and living?

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually mindedis life and peace" (Romans 8:5-6).

"Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 2:3-5).
