We benefit when confusion becomes order.
Confusion reigns in secular thinking because the sense of right and wrong, good and bad, useful and useless, appropriate and inappropriate rotate around self.
We’re shaped by the world around us instead of by God’s Word. With Jesus thinking we gain a sense of empowerment.
Whereas we thought that Christian values were out–of–date, we now see that God still honors and blesses people who think like Jesus.
We benefit from increased meaning and enjoyment in life.
When we think like Jesus, being transformed by God, life has a new sense of meaning and value it never had before; because of our biblical worldview, we can enjoy life as we never have before.
We benefit from fulfilling relationships.
Aristotle described three levels of friendship: personal usefulness, selfish pleasure, and mutual benefit. Thinking like Jesus makes mutually beneficial relationships reachable.
We benefit from more meaningful vocation.
Thinking like Jesus integrates our faith into every area of life, including our work, and gives it new meaning, purpose and satisfaction.
We benefit from enhanced capacity to cope with life’s ups–and–downs.
Those who think like Jesus know what’s truly important and what’s not.
They’re not driven to measure up to the world’s twisted ideas of value or worth. So, they cope with life’s ups–and–downs as temporary impediments to eternal joy and peace.
There are many reasons to think like Jesus, not the least of which is, bearing the name Christian implies that we pattern our lives after Christ.
No wonder Christ has a bad reputation in western society. For many people, the only visible evidence of Him is US. And when we think like the world, we will speak and act like the world. And no one will be impressed nor attracted by that.
Keep this in mind: Transformed minds will equip us to live successful, godly lives by helping us think about life and make decisions the way Jesus would.
