Paul further unfolds the call to mind the majesty of God. Here, man’s chief corruption is seen in the gravitational center of his mind. Basic to human rebellion is pride, the mother of all vice. Such is the definitive will of this age. Yet high thoughts of self are indicative of low thoughts of God. Thus, ego is the malicious menace of the mind. But all in Christ are new creatures with a new center. They are redeemed and thereby graciously given a new inner self with the ability to think Christly. It is a mind without mirrors, meek and lowly, with the selfless Christ at the center. Its thought patterns are disciplined to seek the will of God. It delights in acknowledging the grace of God through Christ. Christians are here called to new habits of the heart, to be sound souls through thriving thoughts of God.
