Romans 12:2; KJV
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.
Ephesians 4:23-24; KJV
[23] and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; [24] and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
2 Corinthians 3:18, AMP
And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.
Romans 12:2 calls us to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” Transformation begins with the mind because it governs our attitudes and decisions.
In our ministry we teach that renewing the mind is an ongoing process where the Spirit works through the Word to align our thoughts with God’s thoughts. Ephesians 4:23-24 speaks of being “renewed in the spirit of your mind” and putting on the new man, which is created according to God in righteousness and holiness.
As we behold the Lord in His Word, we are being transformed into His image from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). This transformation is not outward conformity but an inward change that affects our entire being, enabling us to live according to God’s will.
Thought of the day/Main point. – Transformation begins with the renewing of the mind.
– The Spirit uses the Word to align our thoughts with God’s.
– Beholding the Lord leads to inward transformation into His image.
