”God said let there be …” and what previously had existed only in his mind was literally brought into being.
Love this…”And God said let there be…”
With; Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
With also; and what previously had existed only in his mind was literally brought into being.
More importantly not regarding the literal things but as flesh brings forth flesh, Spirit brings forth Spirit. “And God said let there be…” “Light.”
… “what was previously had existed only in his mind was literally brought into being?” Who has known the mind of God? That he should instruct Him?
Romans 7:21-25 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. [22] For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: [23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. [24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? [25] I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
What you say about which existed only previously in the mind of God, was literally brought into being. Consider that with “so then with the mind I myself serve the law of God” with;
2 Corinthians 4:11-15 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake,
that the life also(what had only previously existed in the Mind of God)of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. [12] So then death worketh in us, but life in you. [13]
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; [14] Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. [15] For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 4:16 For which cause (God, Life in you) we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Thinking about it is what is in the mind …whether the mind is flesh …or the mind of Spirit that is made manifest. Makes me think of the verses of it is not that which a man eats but what comes out from the heart and that which is spoken that makes unclean.
