Posted by Jonathan Merigala In verse two Paul urges his brothers and sisters in Christ to not conform to the pattern of this world. Christians are called to “not conform any longer to the pattern of this world”, with its behavior and customs that are usually selfish and often corrupting. Many Christians wisely have decided to reject the patterns of this sinful world. Our refusal to conform to this world’s values, however, must go deeper than behavior; it must be firmly implanted into our minds. It is possible to avoid most worldly customs and still be proud, covetous, selfish, stubborn, and arrogant. Only when the Holy Spirit renews, reeducates, and redirects our minds are we truly transformed.
Romans 12:2
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
