1: Believe as Jesus Believed - Transformed Minds

To believe what Jesus believed means we hold a conviction that the life he described in the Sermon on the Mount is possible right now. In fact, Jesus said we can equal and exceed the works that he did. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied... I tell you the solemn truth, the person who believes in me will perform the miraculous deeds that I am doing, and will perform greater deeds than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it."(Matt. 5-7; John 14:12-14)

This requires a commitment to set aside time to study, pray, and meditate in order to hear the voice of God and to take on the mind of Christ. If that commitment is not present, we are practicing Christ-less Christianity. After all, how can you follow and learn from someone whose voice you can’t recognize.
