Romans 12: Transformation by the Renewing of our Mind

We’re in Romans 12:2 today, learning about being transformed by the renewing of our minds.

• Renew carries two definitions because it’s a combination of two words:
  • New & Again
  • Renewal is an ongoing process.
  • 2 Corinthians 4.16 – It’s a daily process – not weekly or monthly.  “Day by day”
  • Colossians 3.10
• Transformed
  • “μεταμορφόω ” = metamorphoó:  to change form.
  • We get the word ‘metamorphosis’ from this Greek word.
  • The concept means everything in our lives will be touched by this metamophosis.

Why put myself in a place where daily change is necessary?

• • So we can test and approve what God’s will is (Romans 12.2)
  • We live in the dark in regards to what God’s will is in the big things, because we choose to live in the dark for the little things.
  • Luke 16.10
  • Matthew 22: Love God, Love People.
  • Luke 6.45-46
  • James 3.9-12

Am I hungering and thirsting after righteousness? Am I bringing God’s name glory?

Remember:

• It’s a process.
• A transformed life results in the transformation in others as well.
