Passage:1 Peter 1:13*

Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

In the context of this passage the revealing of Jesus Christ refers to his promise to return and bring believers home to heaven.

Question

What does it mean to prepare your minds for action?

 

Practical help

Jesus Christ is going to return someday to take you home to heaven! (If you're not sure that's your future home, click here.) Wow!

So, what does he (Jesus) want you to do in the mean time? Sit on your thumbs?

No!

He wants others to see in you someone who has a reason to prepare the mind for action.

You, for now, are still living in a world that's going to tempt you with pornography and other things. But you, as a believer, have a future that can enable you to prepare your mind now!

How? Well, consider how you're here at this site reading God's word. That's just one activity which can help you prepare your mind.

Bank on that future and don't let the porno head games win. Prepare! Take action!
