The Renewed Mind

The document discusses the importance of renewing the mind from a biblical perspective. It begins by citing Romans 12:2 about being transformed by the renewing of the mind. It then defines the mind as human thinking, knowing, and feeling. The mind is the battlefield where spiritual and moral battles are fought, as our thoughts influence our actions. We must take every thought captive and bring it into obedience to Christ by using the weapons we have been given, including the name of Jesus, the word of God, and the blood of the lamb.
