The Way of Transformation
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The word conform means to behave according to socially acceptable standards. The bible says that we are not to be conformed to this world. In other words, we are not to behave the way the world behaves. Our life was never to be based on socially acceptable standards set up by man, our life is to be based on the will of God. We as children of God, are to act in a different way. The only problem is how do we not behave the way we were naturally born to behave. It is in our DNA to naturally behave as the world behaves. We are born to do the opposite of God's will. No one has to teach us to lie, cheat or steal. We don't have to go to school to learn how to fornicate, commit adultery or be unclean. Pride, envy, drunkenness, murder and the like lives inside us waiting for a chance to get out.
