Our Understanding and Intellect

A. B. Simpson was an author, hymn writer, conference speaker, evangelist to the urban masses of New York City, and a missionary statesman.  He founded The Christian and Missionary Alliance and Nyack College.

The following is from his book Wholly Sanctified:

". . . is our understanding and intellect filled with God? For He must possess us Himself and put in us His thought and mind as well as His spirit and grace.

"The Christ who came to give Himself to us had not only a divine nature but a reasonable soul, and this He imparts to us in our union with His person.

"'We have the mind of Christ,' and into this weak and erring brain can come the very understanding of our blessed Master, so that, as the great [John] Kepler, we may say, 'I am thinking God's thoughts after God.'"
