Romans 12:2 What leads your behavior?

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good! How was your yesterday? I do hope well.

Romans 12:2 "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."

Paul is warning us, Christians to not copy the behavior and customs of this world. They are usually SELFISH and often CORRUPTING. Wise Christians decide that much worldly behavior is off limits for them. Our refusal to conform to this world's values must go even deeper than just behavior and customs, it must be firmly planted in our mind.

It is possible to avoid most worldly customs and still be proud, covetous, selfish, stubborn and arrogant. Only when the Holy Spirit renews, reeducates, and redirects our mind are we truly transformed.

Proverbs 3:13 "Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding."

Are you walking with "head knowledge" but doing your own thing? Or, is the Holy Spirit guiding you? The answer is easy; the acknowledging of not walking with the Spirit is difficult to come to grips with; just ask forgiveness! Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
