Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
In 2 Corinthians 5:17, the scripture tells us that when we accept Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, old things are passed away and all things become new! At that very moment, on the inside, in our spirit, we are created in the image of Christ. However, our mind, will, and emotions (soul), do not automatically change. As human beings, living in a carnal world, we still have carnal thoughts. Satan attacks us in the realm of our thought life and tries to get us to think carnally. When we think carnal thoughts, we often times feel condemned and ashamed! This is a playground for the devil! Thank God we do have a way in which we can renew our minds! “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God”. (Romans 12:2). In order for us to think, act, and speak like God, we must renew our mind with HIS word. As we grow and develop in His word, we take hold of our thought life and bring it into subjection with the spirit!
Have a blessed day!
