Yesterday we learned that we should renew our mindset once we come to Christ.
How do we renew our mindset?
To do this, we need to replace, to take away, and to exchange the
inaccurate worldly systems of thought with the infallible logic and truth
of God’s word.
We can’t change our patterns of behavior without renewing our mindset!
Is there anything in your life that needs to
be replaced, taken away and exchanged with the truth of God’s word?
Think about the music you listen to, the
books you read, the television shows you watch, the video games you play, the
language you use, who you spend time with, how you spend your time.
And all of us, as with unveiled face, because we continued to behold in
the word of God, as in a mirror, the
glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in
ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this
comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit. – 2 Cor 3:18
The good news is if we ask God what is the mindset He is
trying to change, he will hold the mirror in front of us and show us what needs
to be renewed.
It takes courage to ask
this question, but we serve a gracious God who loves us immeasurably more than
we can ever imagine.
While it might be
painful to see what is reflected in the mirror, take comfort in this - He wants us to reflect his glory!
He does not hold the mirror in front of us to
condemn us.
Each of us is constantly being changed into God’s image, not
one of us has arrived yet!
The only way
to be transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from
one degree of glory to another is to ask God to help you – he is waiting . . .
