What you think is important. If what you think is wrong, your life is wrong. If what you think is right, your life is right, even right with God. The way to think right is to think God's thoughts. His thoughts are found in the Bible. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them (Psalm 139:17).
Think God's thoughts in the Bible. Meditate upon the words. Meditation is focusing your thoughts upon God's words. When you meditate upon God's thoughts, you begin to think like God. Faith in God includes thinking like God. His thoughts will give you faith. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).
What you think is victory in spiritual warfare. The battlefield is your mind. The world's thoughts compete for your attention. God's thoughts give victory in the battle for your mind. God's thoughts and words renew your mind. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2).
God's thoughts produce good fruit. His word is like seed planted in your mind. You cultivate the mind with meditation upon the word of God. It grows and produces good fruit, even the fruit of the Spirit. Your mind is changed. That's called repentance. Your life is changed, by what you think.
