Rom 12:2-3 (ESV) Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the RENEWAL of your MIND, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable & perfect. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you. Thes 5:21-22 Test all things. Hold fast to what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. — Renewing your mind” essentially means to change your thoughts & perspective to align with biblical teachings, by actively studying scripture, reflecting on its meaning,& consciously choosing to act in accordance with its principles, essentially a spiritual transformation through perspective & aligning your thinking with God’s will! This is where we finally surrender to Him! Holding fast to what is good no matter what! This is RENEWAL & it will bring about His will! Love Mel
