Renewal

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

The world has a pattern which is easy to conform to. “It’s easy, just be like everyone else…,” the way of the world. You know what the stats are, that doesn’t make them right. The current trends are in stark contrast to what our lives are meant for. Our values are nothing to be ashamed of. The gospel is good news, the best news that brings a breath of fresh air to the weary earth. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile” Romans 1:6. We are constantly needing to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. At the stage where you’re renewing your mind, the Bible says we can test and approve the will of God.

Lord Jesus, I need the help of the Holy Spirit to live different, think different and renew my mind. Thanks for the wonderful gospel that is the power of God bringing salvation.
