we have received all things pertaining to life and godliness.

His blood is applied to us by the Holy Spirit

The Act of Renewing Gives us a Renewed Mind, Romans 12:2

Romans 12:2

And stop being outwardly conformed to this age, but to be transformed by your renewed mind, for the purpose to test for approval what is the desirous will of God, the good and well pleasing and mature.

With the New Mind We Are Transformed

This Renewed Mind Comes from a Saved Spirit

The Spirit searches the heart and knows the mind of the spirit, Romans 8:26-27

Romans 8:26–27 (NKJV)

Moreover, likewise also the Spirit together helps our weaknesses, for what thing we should communicate for, as far as it is necessary, we do not intuitively know, but the Spirit Himself intercedes on our behalf with inexpressible groans.

Indeed, the one searching the heart intuitively knows what the frame of mind is of the spirit, because according to God He intercedes on behalf of the saints.

Involves thinking according to the New Man, Ephesians 4:22-24

The New Creation is Christ as the Head and the Church as the body, Ephesians 1:22-23

We are to put on the new man as an outer garment, Ephesians 4:24

With an incorruptible seed, 1 Peter 1:23

It is a birth from above, John 3:3

What is our spirit? 1 Corinthians 2:11

1 Corinthians 2:11 (NKJV)

For what man knows (οἶδεν) the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?

Humans are tri-part beings, 1 Thessalonians 5:23

But he who is spiritual discerns (ἀνακρίνει) all things, yet he himself is discerned (ἀνακρίνεται) by no one.

For who has known the mind of the Lord?

The one knit together with Him, and we have a quality of the mind of Christ.
