"We won't need to wait for some extrabiblical, supernatural word from God to be spoken into our subconscious thoughts to know what to do. We'll be able to discern the wise course of action. God doesn't decide for us and then transmit His decisions to us. Like a good father, He is teaching us to discern what is good and acceptable and perfect. How? He is renewing our minds as we come under His Word. He is giving us the mind of Christ.
The world around us is trying to press us into its highly individualistic mold. But the Word is transforming us into people whose identity flows out of being a bondservant to Jesus Christ and no longer a slave to our own independence or self-fulfillment."
