Renewed Mind
June 18, 2026
Romans12:1-2
1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
We’ve been talking about the fleshly mind and the spiritual mind, but can wejust arbitrarily decide on one or the other or does something have to happen to change our mind? The apostle Paul says that a transformation is needed. A renewing of your mind. This is a part of what Jesus meant when he told Nicodemus “you must be born again. Part of that New birth is a renewed mind. But Paul further explains that to fully enter into this change, we must present our bodies as a living sacrifice . A sacrifice implies death, so this is a seeming contradiction. Only in Jesus can we kill our mind and renew our mind at the same time. So dedicate yourself anew today, and let Jesus renew your mind. The promised benefit is that you will be able to prove what the will of God is. What an advantage we have over carnal men who wander about never knowing the true way they should go. We have a Lord and a Guide and a transformed mind that lets Us communicate with the Lord high God so we can follow the way confidently. Thank you Jesus for a transformed life and a renewed mind.
