Philippians 2:5
Have this mind in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus

God spoke through the prophet Jeremiah so long ago to reveal this unpleasant truth—all mankind is stupid and devoid of knowledge. {Jer.10:14,51:17} Without the knowledge of God and His Word it does not matter what your IQ is you do not, cannot, know the Truth. His name is Jesus, the Christ and without Him everything that people think and believe will not be the whole truth.

We were not born with the mind of Christ, quite to the contrary, we were born into this world with a natural mind, one that does not accept the things of the Spirit of God. {1Cor.2:14} The apostle Paul continues on to say that the things of God are foolishness to the natural man and cannot even be understood by them! That is most certainly one prime reason that Jesus said when speaking to Nicodemus that he (as well as every person) must be born again! {Jn.3:7}
 
I thank the Lord that by His grace and mercy, and the gift of His sacrifice on the cross, that I have been born again—and as Paul continued on to say in that letter to the believers in Corinth—now with a new mind, the mind of Christ! Praise God, a new creation, a new me! I am now a citizen, not of the world, but of heaven, the Kingdom of God from which we also eagerly await our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. {Php.3:20}

Lazarus came forth from death in the tomb into new life by the call of Jesus {Jn.11:43} however, he came into that new life still wrapped in the grave clothes—the garments of death! So the Lord said to those who were there, “Unbind him, and let him go.” {Jn.11:44} We, all who have been born again come into that wonderful new life still wearing the ‘grave clothes’, the old habits, traditions and ways of thinking. They must be put off and exchanged for a new way of thinking and living.
 
The earliest messages of the New Testament were simple. John the Baptist said, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.' (Mat.3:2). Jesus said, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.' {Mat.4:17} In both of those instances the Greek word translated as repent is μετανοεω—‘metanoeo’ which literally means to change our mind, to change the way that we think. We need to think like Christ:
 
“who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
    For this reason, also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:6-11)
