Growing in holiness is to keep a spiritual mind.



As we continue in the sanctification (growing in holiness) process as followers of Jesus, it is of great importance to keep a spiritual mind at all times.

We must go through the daily business of life but at the same time keeping our minds on eternal things as Jesus has told us:

Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

To gain these treasures in heaven we must keep our minds focused on the things of God. We must remember we are just a pilgrim passing through here, and to be holy in this world you will be a stranger!

1 Peter 2:11 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

As we keep this spiritual mind in out daily walk there are some things that should be natural to us like....bible study, prayer, assembling with His people which will help us continue to grow in holiness!

Thus we will feel like King David:

Psalm 63:8 My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.

Psalm 119:57 You are my portion, O Lord; I have said that I would keep Your words.
