Bible Question: What is understood by rewing the mind acording to romans chapter 12? |
Bible Answer: Jack PR, I hope this is some help. it sepaks primaily in relation to the most obvious temptation of the flessh, but is also applicable in the more mental or spiritual areas. Paul is speaking of both areas. ""[The Christian]must continue to struggle against concupiscence ( the tendency toward sin) of the flesh and disordered desires. With God's grace he will prevail - by the virtue and gift of chastity, for chastity lets us love with upright and undivided heart; - by purity of intention which consists in seeking the true end of man: with simplicity of vision, the baptized person seeks to find and to fulfill God's will in everything(Cf. Rom 12:2; Col 1:10). - by purity of vision, external and internal; by discipline of feelings and imagination; by refusing all complicity in impure thoughts that incline us to turn aside from the path of God's commandments: "Appearance arouses yearning in fools" (Wis 15:5). - by prayer: "I thought that continence arose from one's own powers, which I did not recognize in myself. I was foolish enough not to know . . . that no one can be continent unless you grant it. For you would surely have granted it if my inner groaning had reached your ears and I with firm faith had cast my cares on you." (St. Augustine, Conf. 6,11,20:PL 32,729-730)" The Catechism #2520 http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s2c2a9.htm#2520 Emmaus |
