Set Your Mind On
33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
2
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
I Peter 1:13
13
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for
the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Things Above
Not On Things On The Earth
Deity
Psalm 123:1,2
1
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2
Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as
the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon
the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy
that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set
down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Self
II Timothy 3:2
2
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
21
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
Heaven
II Corinthians 5:1,2
1
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we
have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens.
2
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house
which is from heaven:
1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first
earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of
God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things are passed away.
Isa
25:8
Material Things
Mark 10:17-23
17
And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled
to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit
eternal life?
18
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but
one, that is, God.
19
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not
steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
Ex
20:14,13,15,16,17,12
20
And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my
youth.
21
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou
lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow
me.
22
And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great
possessions.
23
And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall
they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
14
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling
unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed
children:
Law of the Lord
Romans 7:22
22
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate
day and night.
3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth
forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Pleasure
II Timothy 3:4
4
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
14
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other:
for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth
himself shall be exalted.
Spiritual Things
Matthew 6:33
33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service.
2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God.
Pride of Life
John 5:44
44
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the
honour that cometh from God only?
15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man
love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will
of God abideth for ever.
9
I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence
among them, receiveth us not.
A Spiritual Life
Romans 8:5
5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they
that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the
flesh.
Philippians 3:20
20
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour,
the Lord Jesus Christ:
A Fleshly life
Romans 8:13
13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit
do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
19
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in
their shame, who mind earthly things.)
A LIFE
BECOMING THE GOSPEL
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;

one can live.

hearts, and change our thinking.
