Renewing your mind

Romans 12:2

NKJVAnd do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. GNBDo not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God---what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.

Transformed

μεταμορφοωmetamorphoo met-am-or-fo'-oFrom G3326 and G3445; to transform (literally or figuratively “metamorphose”): - change, transfigure, transform.

Truth

John 8:32 NKJV“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Every area of our lives where we believe truth we will be free.Every area of our lives where we believe lies we are not free.

John 8:31-32 NKJVThen Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you continue in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

I’m a sinner saved by grace

2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJVFor He made Him who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

1 John 1:7 NKJVBut if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Psalms 103:12 NKJVAs far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

But I still sin

Romans 6:1-11 GNB(1) What shall we say, then? Should we continue to live in sin so that God's grace will increase?(2) Certainly not! We have died to sin---how then can we go on living in it?

(11) In the same way you are to think of yourselves as dead, so far as sin is concerned, but living in fellowship with God through Christ Jesus.

Some situations are hopeless

Hebrews 10:23 NKJVLet us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJVNo temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

There is a solution!

I can’t do that

Philippians 4:13 NKJVI can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Luke 9:20 NKJVHe said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”• Selfishness• spiritual blindness• Pride and Elitism• Judgement with murderous intent

Philippians 4:11-13 NKJVNot that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
