"This then is the Sum of Man"

Everything has been processed
through man's fallen mind.

When man accepts God's gift of Salvation,
man becomes a new creature
transformed into the image of God.

But...

Saying we have accepted the Lord doesn't mean we have accepted Him. When man accepts God with his fallen mind he merely adds God to his life, in man's image of God to improve man's life in terms and in needs that are conformed to this world.

So...

Man's walk with God is on
man's terms. Man's view of God is man-made and man's experience with God is limited to man's view. Instead of wanting God, he wants what he has determined is good for himself (often expressed as things).

Therefore, man is simply adding God to his life
and is need of Transformation. Until we have made the right decision we do not have the Mind of Christ.
