Romans
12:2
"Do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by
testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and
perfect." ESV
What does it mean
to be conformed to this world? It means getting our thoughts and behavior in
line with those of the world. It means getting ourselves as similar to the rest
of the world as we possibly can. The Word says not to do that! It says to be
transformed. So, what does that mean? It is defined as a complete change of
nature or character, becoming someone different than we were before. The Word
says we can accomplish this by renewing our minds. In our limited human strength
we cannot do this on our own. We are dependent on the Lord and His saving grace
to renew our minds and to become new creatures.
Heavenly Father,
we ask forgiveness for conforming to this world and giving importance to what
others think. We thank You for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ so that
can become transformed into Your likeness. In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
