ONE MIND ONE CHARACTER
God created all people different. Everyone experiences different situations, meet different people, have different interests, have different abilities and live under different circumstances. However God wants us all to live with the same character, the sa me mind. Our paths are all different and unique but they all head in the same direction, we are all going to our final judgment. The narrow path that leads to eternal life with God in His Kingdom can be found and followed if you have God^s own character. With those that God has chosen He works to mold their characters into what is His.
I am sending you these scriptures because I think that you will understand them and benefit from them. I am not writing to boast of my righteousness, the contrary is likely closer to the truth. These scriptures point out my failures and shortcomings as we ll as my intentions.
Romans 12:16
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited.
Romans 14:5 to 9
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
5. One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike. Let every one be fully convinced in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God
thanks.
6 He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
7 None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord s.
8 If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord^s.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
Romans 15:6
6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 13:11
11. Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
11. Finally, brethren, farewell. Mend your ways, heed my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Philippians 1:27
27. Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
27. Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,
Philippians 2:2 to 11
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
3 Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves.
4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
8 And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
1 Peter 3:8 and 9
8. Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
8. Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love of the brethren, a tender heart and a humble mind.
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
9 Do not return evil for evil or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing.
Beware of the fallacy that all those of one mind are God^s own. There will be hoards of people with unified intent, drive, ambition, goals and attitudes but with evil motives and intentions.
Revelation 17:13
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
13 These are of one mind and give over their power and authority to the beast;
