When Peter says “arm yourselves with the same way of thinking…” [v.1], there’s a connection between understanding suffering and having the mind of Christ (Phil. 2:1-8). Even in the Christian, there’s conflict between the mindset of living for the yourself and living for God. But Peter says that we shouldn’t live the rest of our time in the flesh, according to our sinful human passions, but for the will of God. There isn’t a person who is living or a person who has already died who does not fall under the authority & rule of God - all must give an account. If we are to have the mind of Christ, there is no better way than to read, study, think, memorize, and prioritize God’s Word.
