Living as God intends
What does it really mean to be a disciple? Is it simply a matter of blind obedience and then the rest will follow automatically? The answer (as Paul presents it in today’s passage) has two distinct – but interlinked - elements. It is firstly a change in the way we live (vv. 27): as believers we are no longer directed by cultural norms but by our faith in Christ. The second element reflects a change in our thinking and the way we view the world – this will only come when “…. we have the same mindset as Christ Jesus” (vv. 5). Heart, mind and soul – changes to these will bring about a change in direction and a new set of values by which we live. It won’t be easy – we are promised a struggle – but it will be, and is, worth it.
