Set your minds on? “Christians who are no longer sure that God loves and accepts them in Jesus, apart from their present spiritual achievements, are subconsciously radically insecure persons, much less secure than non-Christians, because of the constant bulletins they receive from their Christian environment about the holiness of God and the righteousness they are supposed to have.  Their insecurity shows itself in pride, a fierce defensive assertion of their own righteousness and defensive criticism of others. They cling desperately to legal, pharisaical righteousness, but envy [and] jealousy and other … sins grow out of their fundamental insecurity.”  (Richard Lovelace, Dynamics of Spiritual Life, p. 211-212)

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.  (Colossians 3:2,3 ESV)
