Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
God is a spirit. He created each of us with a spirit, too. He communicates with us through our spirit. We are spiritual beings, in addition to being made of flesh and bone.
God also gave each of us a mind. We can think and reason. We have intelligence and common sense, which were given to us by our Creator.
God instructs us in the verse above to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Why does He address our minds and not our spirits?
Because the mind is where our decisions and choices are made. Our mind is where warfare is waged against us. Our mind is where the enemy attacks us with temptation.
So it’s only by the renewing and transforming of our minds that we will be able to overcome those things that so often pull on us and cause us to wrestle with choices and decisions.
And it is by God’s spirit that our minds can be renewed. It’s not by our own strength or understanding, but by the strength that He gives us if we let Him.
So it’s up to us to ask God and to allow God to help transform and renew our minds by His spirit.
And once we get this under our belt and allow Him to transform our minds, our lives will be forever changed.
