Bible Verse of The Day – 5-15-18

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.

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

When we become a child of God, we are raw and broken. We may not even know how broken we are. But God does, and He also knows how to fix us, making us a new creation in Christ.

As part of the “fixing” process, God transforms the way we think; renews our minds.

This means that as we grow in Christ, we will begin to change the way we think. Our thought patterns will change. The way we see things will change.

Why? Because God is “adjusting” us in many ways. He changes our heart and the rest follows suit.

You see, as we grow in Christ we begin to see things from a different perspective. Things that we used to think were acceptable are now no longer acceptable. We see the error in our past ways and make the necessary adjustments in our thinking.

On the other hand, there will usually be things that we used to look down on or view as unacceptable that we now have a better understanding of, and we now see them as right.

The worst thing we can do as believers is to not allow God to change our heart and our mind. It is only through this transformation that God can work through us and use us for His kingdom.

So, if you suddenly find yourself questioning some of your old values and embracing new ones as you grow in your walk with God, just know that this is the work of the Holy Spirit, as He transforms you by the renewing of your mind.

Embrace God. Let Him transform you. And enjoy the ride!
