Romans 8:6 (ESV)
For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
The flesh is the world that was overcome by Jesus. He defeated death which is the natural end of man. The life of Christ is ours by the supernatural divine act of a loving God. Those who would follow Him are predestined to the abundant life and peace of God which is beyond our understanding because the finite is unable to comprehend the infinite.
Setting our mind on the Spirit is the beginning of our transformation made possible by the renewing of our minds into the image of Christ. We have the mind of Christ because He is with us. We will have the mind of Christ because He is with us as we grow into His maturity and stature.
