Thinking Like God – Audio

No Longer Thinking Like God, Man Has Schemed

There is a great difference between God and man. Our thinking is different. God’s thinking is higher than man’s thinking. God said, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways… For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9).”

Man may not have thinking like God, but, in fact, man does have a choice on how to think. Sadly, man most often makes the wrong choices on what to think about. God made man upright; but man has sought out many schemes (Ecclesiastes 7:27-29).

God created man in His image, and according to His likeness (Genesis 1:26-27). At that time, God called everything “good” (Genesis 1:31). Man was allowed eat of any and every tree in the garden of Eden, including the tree of life, with one exception. Man was instructed not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, man was tempted to eat of that tree by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Naturally, they gave into sin (Genesis 3:6-7). Since the entry of sin, man has always schemed (Genesis 6:5). But, from the beginning, it was not so.

How can man get back to thinking like God? Paul told the Philippians, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5-8)…” We need to be thinking more like Christ, following His example. God has made us upright; through Christ we can be reconciled to Him!
