Being changed in the spirit of our minds entails, always, being converted from our way of seeing to God s way of seeing, and from our way of being to God s way of being. As Sittler says, the change in the spirit of our minds must come about by putting the grace of God behind the eyes with which we look at the world and into the hands with which we touch the world. And so if we are to rule rightly, we must rule graciously. We must go on learning to love the creation like the one who loved it enough to take on its flesh, lie helpless in a manger, and hang dying on a cross.
