The word “mind” does not refer to our thinking apparatus. It relates to our bent of mind. It concerns our inclinations. It refers to our mindset. The mindset of the flesh, the attitude leaning away from God, takes us further from God and thus closer to eternal death. Such a disposition is antagonistic toward God. It is actually at enmity with God. Such a bent of mind does not submit to the Ten Commandments. It is unable to do so. It cannot because it will not.

We all have such a bent of mind, although it may not be as aggravated as that of the serial killer. We need a mindset inclined to follow the Holy Spirit speaking in the Bible. God can exercise power over us. The Holy Spirit can change our attitudes and make us willing to follow God. “Your people shall be willing in the day of Your power” (Psalm 110:3). Oh God, please make me willing.
