Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
How are we transformed? According to this scripture, we are transformed by learning to think in a completely different way. This is a large part of being a successful Christian. You will not be a victorious Christian just because you go to church, own different translations of the Bible, or have a large library of Christian teachings. You will not have victory unless you learn to transform your thoughts.
The word transformed means “to change into another complete form, to totally change the appearance of, to convert.” I love that because when people accept Christ as their Savior, we say they have been “converted.” First God converts us, and then He converts everything else in our lives by helping us convert (renew) our thinking.
Prayer of the Day: Lord, help me renew my mind with Your Word. Transform my thinking so that I can live a victorious life and reflect Your will in everything I do.
