Identify & explain the 4 reasons Stott provides for why Christians should use their minds -
✔✔Created to Think- God made man in his own image so we have the capacity, man is the only
creature that has understanding, he expects us to communicate consciously and intelligently,
Isaiah 1:8
Thinking Gods Thoughts- God is a self-revealing God, we are able to comprehend the process of
nature, Keplers famous words "think Gods thoughts after him", Christianity is a revealed
religion, God has revealed himself in words to minds
Minds Renewed- 1 Cor 1:21, gospel is a divinely ordained means of opening eyes, redemption
carries renewal of the divine image, "a mind trained, informed, equipped to handle data of
secular controversy,"
Judged by our Knowledge- God will judge us by our knowledge and response to his revelation,
God has communicated with us through words, renewed us in Christ, and given us the mind of
Christ will hold us responsible for the knowledge we have

man is what he thinks about all day long

about (not Earthly), to set the mind on Spirit is life and peace
The Christians Guidance- Proverbs 3:6 "he will make your path straight", God's will is that we
become conformed to image of Son, trust that God will guide you through mental process

truth", gospel is for everybody
