Living Above Life Jim Walton

When God calls a person to salvation, He calls them to new life in Christ. Besides leaving our lives of sin, one of the most important aspects of being a new creation is that of transforming our minds-learning to think differently, as a child of God. After becoming born of the Spirit, we must learn to "set [our] minds on things above, not on earthly things" (Colossians 3.2). It involves a total retraining of our ways of thinking so that we leave the things of this world behind and live in the fullness of what God has for us. God has something very different in store for us than merely living as redeemed people as aliens on the earth. Instead, if we can genuinely put our minds into God's view rather than the natural way we think, the life and power of God will open to us in spectacular ways. This book is to open your mind and soul to the completely different life and way of thinking that God desires for us, so that we can live above life.
