“Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking…” 1 Peter 4:1
Let me share with you a simple, but what I think, is a profound truth from this verse.
Our way of thinking can be a weapon of warfare for us.
Are you arming yourself with the same way of thinking that Jesus had? The one who came not to be served, but to serve. The one who in all humility left Heaven to take off the cross for our sakes. Is that similar to your mindset?
Peter tells us to “arm” ourselves with that kind of thinking.
If we want to withstand the battles before us, Christlike thinking is a weapon we need in our arsenal.
