Transformed people with renewed minds

Romans12:2 (NKJV)

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mand, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Comment from Life Application Bible:
God has good, acceptable, and perfect plans for His children. He wants us to be transformed people with renewed minds, living to honor and obey Him. Because He wants only what is best for us, and because He gave His Son to make our new lives possible, we should joyfully give ourselves as living sacrifices for His service.

Christians are called to "not be conformed to this world," with its behavior and customs that are usually selfish and often corrupting. Many Christians wisely decide that much worldly behavior is off limits for them. Our refusal to conform to this world's values, however, must go even deeper than the level of behavior and customs- it must firmly planted in our minds- "be transformed by the renewing of your mind."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.

My comment:
One good habit to form is to start the day with Bible reading. No matter how busy, start to do it just one minute. One minute, that's all. I find it much more effective by reading aloud.
Try it! Just one minute. It is very easy! When you get the hang of it, you will do more! God bless you. By the way for those who want to get a Bible, please ask me. Is FREE.
