What is required is nothing less than a total transformation in world-view.

No longer are we to look at life in terms of this world, the realm of sin and death.

The key to this change is the “mind” (noos), the control center of one’s attitudes, thoughts, feelings, and actions (cf.

).

As one’s mind keeps on being made new by the spiritual input of God’s Word, prayer, and Christian fellowship, his lifestyle keeps on being transformed.

Mental conformity to the truth of God.

This renewal results in a transformation in the life of the believer

Paul encourages us to look at our entire Christian lives as acts of worship.

It is not just what is done on Sunday in a church building that ‘ascribes worth’ to God, but what God and the world see in us every day and every moment of the week.

Paul encourages us to look at our entire Christian lives as acts of worship.

It is not just what is done on Sunday in a church building that ‘ascribes worth’ to God, but what God and the world see in us every day and every moment of the week.

As a Christian is transformed in his mind and is made more like Christ, he comes to approve and desire God’s will, not his own will for his life.

Then he discovers that God’s will is what is good for him, and that it pleases God, and is complete in every way.

It is all he needs.

But only by being renewed spiritually can a believer ascertain, do, and enjoy the will of God.

Eph 4:22-

Pre-owned and certified

The Holy Ghost is your certification, you were pre-owned in sin and once belong to your father Satan, living your life according to your own ways and will, but through the prayers of others, hearing and reading the Word of God your life has been transformed.

The Fruit of the Spirit is now being produced within your life.

You are talking a new way

You are walking a new way

You are living a new way

But most of all you are thinking a new way

Your mind has been renewed, and restored your life has been transformed by the Will of God.
