“Many are saved but their mind is not saved”

“They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!”
- 2 Tim 3:5

It behooves me to think that many say they are saved, but do not do the will of the Father. Many will admit to being saved but are not saved in the mind. If your mind has been renewed by the will and Word of God, you not only talk the talk, but you walk the walk. God wants to save you my brother and my sister to the uttermost, meaning your spirit, body and yes, your mind. It serves you very little if your body has been renewed and you’re mind is still worldly. This causes an internal war between the flesh and your spirit. A mind wavering between two worlds is in constant conflict and chaos.

There are people who profess to being saved, yet they conform to the ways of the world. What we profess with our mouth and what we practice with our living should line up together. Anyone can say that they are saved. But when you put words into action, this is what separates the saved from the unsaved, the folks on fire for the Lord, those who are lukewarm, and those who are sold out for Jesus. In life we encounter many people that confess Christ and the fact that they are religious etc...they know all the religious rituals, what to say and do but when it comes to having a personal relationship with JESUS this clearly shines light on their illusion of the interpretation. They have an affair with God which is on and off again, in and out, never really making a commitment to the relationship. It is what you do when no one is looking that will determine if you are saved. There are people who appear to be righteous and have an outward appearance of being saved but if the truth be known, are not. It is like a stage play, they know how to act and what to say like role playing. People are attending church activities, yet they do so without a relationship with God. They know how to talk the talk as Christians do. Everything about them about them leads you to believe that they are saved. But appearance alone is not going to save anyone. There is a difference in men/women of God vs. men/women of the world. The Bible talks about people, “having a form of Godliness”, 2 Timothy 3:5. There are many who call themselves Christians that display an outward appearance, but inwardly their mind is not saved. They are spiritually and morally lukewarm. There are people who have an appearance of being saved but are not saved in their mind. I call these people, “Christians under construction.”

“To many of us have a Christian vocabulary rather than a Christian experience”
- Charles F. Banning

Sad is that person’s plight that wears the badge of a Christian on their sleeve but has never been quickened by the Holy Spirit. There is vitality and the journey of wonderment in knowing the true and living God who is multifaceted and multidimensional and glitters brilliantly in living colors. There is a difference in knowing God and experiencing God! People should see and hear that you are a Christian without you wearing a badge on your sleeve or a name tag on your blouse or shirt.
