Capture the image (2)

Capture the imapge of Christ (2)

Once we understand that we are like a camera, it is not difficult to see through Satan's 3 strategies (maybe more) in preventing us from capturing the image of Christ:

1. Satan would cover the lens by blinding our mind (2 Corinthians 4:4)
2. Satan would break the lens by corrupting our mind (2 Corinthians 11:3)
3. Satan would occupy the film with something seemingly good as Christ's substitute. (Romans 12:2)

So what shall we do to counter:
1. We need to receive in meekness the word of God, which will save our souls. (James 1:21, Hebrews 4:12)
2. We need to train our mind to be obedient to Christ by setting our mind on the spirit. (2 Corinthians 10:5, Romans 8:6)
3. We need to be renewed in the spirit of our mind by letting the Spirit of God spread into our mind. (Ephesians 4:23)
4. Eventually we would have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16, Philippians 2:5)
