Is there in your mind a pattern of evil thoughts that recurring oftentimes? Do you have some evil thoughts running in your mind that you entertain and hard to resist?
See what’s on your mind. Maybe there are sexual and lustful fantasies, or maybe thoughts and feeling of hatred, bitterness or vengeance towards someone or maybe some negative thoughts that keep occupying your thinking making you to feel sick, tired and stressful. If you do, then your mind is not totally renewed. No peace of mind. Worst, you transgress the law which is the law that Jesus said, "I tell you now..."
• The Big Problem: The mind
By observing yourself, you will see that whatever evil thoughts conceived in your mind the members of the body as well as the whole body follows naturally. It becomes natural, what the body desires to do is what on the mind such as the lustful thoughts, worldly and devilish thoughts. The more you resist it in the mind the more your body wants it. That where the problem begins. The sin “I hate to do I do” develop into a tough struggle. You are now one with Apostle Paul who went through in the experienced of struggling with sin.
• The Solution: Surpassing the Law
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul… (Psa 19:7)
The word “soul” means “mind” and the word “converting means “change”.
Therefore we could say that the Law is perfect to change the mind. In other words, the Law is perfect to renew the mind from being worldly and carnal into spiritual mind. The Law by surpassing them, is perfect to convert, to change, to renew, to reform “little by little” the mind until it becomes wholly the mind of Christ.
By keep on surpassing the law ( practicing the Law that Jesus said “Now I tell you” and the Law established by the Apostles) it will form a habit. When the habit begin to form, that habit will conceive in the mind until both mind and body with its members becomes so natural to obey the Law which is the Ten Commandments.
It will really take time to surpass the Law (you will struggle) but it has worth and excitement.
In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable. (Php 4:8)
Put into practice what you learned and received from me, both from my words and from my actions. And the God who gives us peace will be with you. (Php 4:9)

3 Major Changes do by the Law “Now”
There are 3 major changes and transformations that will take place in our whole being (spirit, soul and body) when we “surpass the Law”:
1. Spirit is continually regenerates which gives power for living
Do you oftentimes feel bored and tired to read the Bible, pray, attend church? If you do, you are lack of spiritual life and when you lack spiritual life then you are lack of power. It means your spirit that regenerates by the Spirit of God comes to a death.
If you want your spiritual life to be healthy and alive do not forsake the things of God. Moreover, you must have a determination to surpass the law. If you do, your spirit will become align to the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God gives us the power for living, a kind of living different from the carnal and natural “good person”.
2. Soul which is the mind is being renew daily
Our carnal mind- the mind that is enmity against God and will not ever subject to the law of God (Rom 8:7) must change, reform and renew. Our mind must become the mind of Christ.
When we surpass the Law, we eventually instill or inculcate in our mind the “spiritual law” (the Law “Now”). In other words, we are molding our mind to conform our mind to the mind of God.
3. Body which is the flesh is put to death
Nothing, there’s nothing good lives there. The desire of the body which is the flesh is contrary to the desires of the Spirit. The flesh must be put to a total death. When you feel a craving for fleshly things beware, that is the indication your flesh is still alive to sinful fleshly desires. You might be in danger of the fire of hell. (Mar 9:43-48)
Surpassing the law is the only logical and practical means whereby the flesh can be put to death. The Law “Now” is exactly the way to overcome the works of the flesh. It’s the only and perfect way, because the Law of the Lord is PERFECT (Psa 19:7)
