How do we know a person is spiritually minded?

Being spiritually minded is evidenced by a person's inclination towards the things of God. As presented in Romans 8, those who are after the Spirit exhibit a preoccupation with spiritual matters and cannot help but think about God and Christ, even amidst their struggles with sin. The presence of the Holy Spirit within the believer is crucial; if the Spirit of God dwells in an individual, it confirms their identity as a child of God and marks them as spiritually minded. This inner transformation, initiated by God’s sovereign grace, compels individuals to seek righteousness and live in accordance with God's law.
