Conformed Or Transformed

From: The Word For You Today - Bob Gass
 
Romans 12:2 "Do not conform yourself to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is good, pleasing and perfect."
 
We have the option; be conformed or transformed! Deciding "I will not conform to the world" leads to a transformed lifestyle. Choosing not to conform to this world is what opens the door to your transformation. Unlike conformity, which is externally initiated, your walk with God will become an outer expression of an inner change.
 
You become transformed from the inside out. How does it happen? "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4).

Add to your decision not to conform, your commitment to "the renewing of your mind" which in Greek text means you think God's thoughts instead of your old thoughts. Then watch as a Holy Spirit-empowered transformation begins to take place in your daily life.
