We are promised a sound mind as a result of having God's Spirit (1 Tim. 1:7). What are some of the attributes of a spiritually sound mind? There are many attributes that could be listed. But five major attributes that set us apart from the world are respect for God's Word, humility, freedom from worry and fear, a giving heart, and an awareness that we must guard our mind against the influences of Satan and his world.
