Romans 12:2 Conformity To The World Is Unacceptable To God

Romans 12:2 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

TRANSFORMED-metamorphoó in the greek. Transfigure, changing form,

 The call in this text is for everyone believer of Jesus Christ to be transfigured from the inside out.

The world with all it’s temporary pleasures and desire wants to control our mind and is making every offer imaginable to make it possible, but God wants to transform our mind.

How is our minds transformed? Our minds are only transformed through the written Word of God. The washing of our minds with it.

It is the Word of God that produces the miracle of a transformed mind.

God and His Word is one, therefore, God does not work nor perform apart from His Word.

It is the Word of God that has the power to save, change, transform, deliver and set free. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!!!

Faith alone in Christ Jesus (who is the Word according to John 1:1) and by the leading of God’s Holy Spirit is our only possibility of ever having our minds transformed. 

Will it be easy? NO! Is it possible? YES!

A transformed mind through daily washing of it with the Word of God is the only way to bring about a transformed view, attitude, behavior, obedience lifestyle and direction.

Want a renewed mind? Want to see what God sees? Allow your minds to be transformed by faith in the Word of God through the leading of God’s Holy Spirit.

Immoral behaviors can not be changed by changed behaviors, but by faith in God's Word which has triumphant power through the Holy Spirit to change the way we think makes it possible.

When we have been transformed in our minds as we daily think of God’s great mercies towards us, we are then able to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to Him and in doing so we will have fulfilled our true service of Worship to the Father.

A committed relationship to Jesus Christ transforms us into a better, more Christ-like person.

If you confess Christ as your Savior and your mind is not daily being transformed to the likeness of His through the washing of the Word and the leading of His Holy Spirit, something is wrong!

Renewing and being transformed in the mind is not an option, but of NECESSITY for it is our minds view that helps us keep our eternal perspective in view.  

Be ye not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.

God bless.
