The Bible said, “The law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul...Psa 19:7
The Latin word of “Soul” is “Psyche” which means “Mind”. Therefore it can be said that the law is perfect to convert the mind. In other words, the function of the law is to perfectly renew and change the mind into having the mind of Christ. A total turning of the mind from carnal mind into spiritual mind.
There are things should always be in our mind, “ Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things”.(Phil 4:8)
Think about these things, anyone who claimed they are truly saved or eternally saved but their minds were being polluted contrary to whatever is true, noble, right, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy one is suspect of being a false convert.
As far as the law is concern, the law which is the 10 Commandments is perfect to convert the minds. The law is a perfect way that can be use as a mirror so a saved person can look at it and see what inside in his mind and on his own heart. Because, “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander”. Matt 15:19
Remember this, “What the mind conceived the body will achieved”. Therefore, it is excellent way to keep the law in our heart so our mind will conceive all that contains in it. Thus our mind will be convert, reform, change and renew continuously making our body achieve not the desires of the flesh but what is pleasing in the sight of God. Thus, making the saved person a true convert.
The law of the Lord is perfect to convert, to renew, to change the soul-psyche-mind.
