1 Peter4:7 b
Godly thinking is at the heart of communion with God
The more one knows a person’s mind, the richer the relationship will be (Rom.
12:1–2; Eph.
4:23–24; Phil.
4:8).
The word rendered “Serious” derives from a term that literally means, “be in one’s right mind” (sōphroneō)—to be under control and not be carried away by an errant view of oneself , or undue emotion, or uncontrolled passion.
(Rom.
12:3; Prov.
23:7)
Mark used the term to describe the maniac Jesus freed from the legion of demons (Mark 5:15 ).
The verb also refers to guarding the mind (Prov.
4:23 ).
The Christian mind must be clearly fixed on spiritual priorities and righteous living (Josh.
1:8; Matt.
6:33; Col. 3:2, 16; Titus 2:11–12 )
Objectives that a self-indulgent, deceptive world, heavily influenced by Satan, constantly seeks to distract from, deflect, and destroy (1 John 2:15–16 ).
When believers’ minds are subject to Christ (2 Cor.
10:5 ) and His Word they see matters from an eternal perspective.
(Pss.
1:2; 19:7; 119:97, 103, 105; 2 Tim.
3:15–17)
Holy living also requires spiritual alertness.
Watchful (nēphō), closely related in meaning to serious, denotes being spiritually observant.
Jesus expressed a similar sentiment when He warned the apostles to “be on the alert” (Matt.
24:42 ) and to “keep watching” (Matt 26:41 ).
Godly thinking and spiritual alertness are crucial for the purpose of prayer.
Prayer is the access to all spiritual resources, but believers cannot pray properly if their minds are unstable due to worldly pursuits, ignorance of divine truth, or indifference to divine purposes (1 Cor.
14:15; Heb.
10:22; 1 John 5:14–15 ).
Christians who seriously study Scripture and discover its profound truths about God experience rich communion with Him (Ps.
42:1; John 14:23; 2 Cor.
13:14; 1 John 1:3 )
Paul called this “the mind of Christ” (1 Cor.
2:16; 2 Tim.
1:7 ).
Holy living comes when believers read and meditate on God’s Word daily so as to know the thoughts of God and commune with Him according to His will.
Jude calls this “praying in the Holy Spirit” (Jude 20 ).
