TRANSFORMED INTO A NEW PERSON

Romans 12:2 Don't copy the behaviour 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. The New King James calls it the renewing of our minds.

Have you ever wanted to be transformed into a new person?  As children we all probably played dressing up games and pretended to be somebody else but here God is telling us He is wanting to transform us. What an offer!😊 

God has already transformed us in our spirit by making us into a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away; behold all things have become new), but here He's telling us He wants to transform and renew our minds which will then affect our will and our emotions which has got to be good!

So how is He going to do it? - by changing the way we think!  He knows if we let Him do that then we'll find out what His perfect plan is for our lives and that is a wonderful incentive.

God's word tells us how God operates, what His ways and thoughts are. If we want Him to change our thinking patterns, we're going to need to spend some time reading His manual to find out how He wants us to think especially when it's not the way the world thinks! 

He promises, as we let Him change our thinking, we'll find out His plan for us, so as we start a new week maybe we can ask ourselves if we're willing to rethink some things. 😊

Lord we want to be transformed so please help us to co-operate with You and let You change our thinking where we need to. In Jesus Name, Amen.
