Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior 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.
It was on 31/1/20 Dr. Darell Whiteman, share the word of God in mission emphasis on day one. This sentence from him struck my heart “God send Jesus to incarnate in Jewish family under Romans rule in the same way Jesus send us to incarnate in every day of our lives, to whom we meet with.”
This bible verse comes so alive speaking to me… let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. As long as we are not transformed by God, by changing the way we think how much ever we try to do what is good, we cannot. Because the transformation in us will help us to think, see and understand as Jesus did, which will, in turn, help us to do the will of God in our lives to everyone we meet in our lives.
Without this transformation all our efforts to do good will be in vain…this transformation is the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, which is the work of God alone, we cannot do it ourselves in spite of how much we try to do good in our own effort. Dear today take your time in your busy schedule and invite the Holy Spirit to transform you so that you will get rid of your ego, pride, stubbornness, jealousy, hate, etc. And make room for the Holy Spirit to take control of you and be transformed.
“Trying our best to do good will not work, but being transformed by Holy Spirit will only help in the long run.”- Nei
