TRANSFORMED BY RENEWED THINKING
July 10, 2023
“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.” – Romans 12:2
One of the most important things you can do as a follower of Jesus is to allow God to renew your mind. Today’s key verse speaks to this and challenges us to resist the pressures and patterns of this world and instead be transformed by the power of renewed thinking. As believers, we are called to embrace a mindset that aligns with God’s truth and purposes.
Our minds are constantly bombarded by the values, ideologies, and influences of the world around us. If we are not intentional, we can easily fall into conformity with the patterns of this world, adopting its perspectives and priorities. However, God calls us to a higher standard—a transformed way of thinking that reflects His will and character.
Renewing our minds involves a deliberate and ongoing process of aligning our thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs with the truth of God’s Word. It means allowing His truth to challenge and reshape our thinking and rejecting worldly mindsets that contradict His principles.
Why is renewing the mind so important? Firstly, it enables us to discern and understand God’s will. As our minds are transformed, we gain clarity and insight into His plans and purposes for our lives. Our renewed thinking equips us to make decisions that are in line with His good, acceptable, and perfect will.
Secondly, renewing the mind guards us against the deceptive influences of the world. It helps us discern truth from falsehood, godliness from worldliness, and righteousness from unrighteousness. Our transformed thinking acts as a filter, enabling us to navigate the complexities of life with wisdom, discernment, and godly perspective.
Lastly, renewing the mind allows us to experience personal transformation. As we surrender our thoughts and beliefs to God’s truth, He molds us into the likeness of His Son, Jesus Christ. Our renewed minds lead to transformed hearts, character, and behavior. We become vessels that reflect God’s love, grace, and truth to a world in desperate need.
I want to challenge you to commit yourself to the journey of renewing your mind. Daily immerse yourself in God’s Word, allowing His truth to shape your thoughts, attitudes, and perspectives. As your mind is transformed, I pray you become a catalyst of transformation in your homes, community, and beyond.
