Renewing the mind-creating new patterns of thought- leads to transformation (Romans 12:2). By habitually setting the mind on the Spirit’s desires we become the kind of people who embody the Spirit’s characteristics and submit to His inclinations. In this we anticipate grace. Grace is the ability of God in our lives enabling us to be and do what he commands us to be and do. As disciples of Jesus, we are learning to bring our minds and bodies under the governance of God’s Kingdom. Naturally, learning implies failure. In the kingdom, learning implies grace.
