Those who are spiritual discern all things, and they are themselves subject to no one else’s scrutiny. ‘For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ. (1Corinthians 2: 15-16)

If we choose to be in Christ, to receive the Spirit, and accept the will of God our animal inclinations are transformed.

When we discern, appraise, examine and judge using spiritual criteria we have achieved the full freedom intended by God.

Even with our limitations we can engage reality with the mind of Christ: insightful, empathetic, loving, forgiving, courageous, and in accordance with God's intention.
