How Much of the Mind of Christ Do We Have?
Sermon by David C. GrabbeWhen Almighty God scattered the Worldwide Church of God, members were forced to rely directly on Him. We can see parallels between the struggles of earlier believers lacking rapid communication and cohesive leadership and the divided greater church of God today. Even though our core doctrines can be largely identical differences in interpretation and various levels of spiritual maturity cause divisions which have emerged among the splinter groups, just as contentions between the early apostles (i.e., Peter and Paul). Possessing the mind of Christ is a long, rigorous lifetime process rather than an instantaneous transformation. Consequently, true unity requires seeking Christ's mind through faith, humility, and love—even amid doctrinal differences. Suffering, patience, and submission to God's will are inextricable when developing the mind of Christ. Today, as in the 1st century, selfish ambition, conceit, and factional motives hinder unity within the body of Christ because the fleshly mind resists correction, prioritizing personal or group interests over spiritual truth. True unity can emerge from each member developing the mind of Christ by practicing humility, persistence, and a willingness to sacrifice personal comfort for spiritual growth and maturity.
