Do you want to become new?

All over the world, people want change. We tend to let go of old habits and ways of thinking when they no longer serve us. It is for this reason that there are thousands of self-help books, podcasts, articles, and various media outlets. We want to change! And yet it may seem impossible! Paul, one of Jesus’ disciples, shares this powerful truth in Romans 12:2:

Do not submit to this world. Rather, let your mind be changed and renewed, so that you can know and accept the will of God, so that you can understand what is good, perfect and pleasing to God.

Transformed by the renewal of our minds. What does this mean?

Transformation is large-scale change. She is thorough. finished Perfect difference. Just as a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, transformation brings the end of the old and the beginning of the new.

Paul shows us that transformation is not a work that we do from the outside in. Transformation happens from the inside out. Everything starts with our mind. And in order for our minds to change, we need Truth to lean on.

The Word of God is this Truth.

“All Scripture is inspired…”
2 Timothy 3:16-17

“For the Word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. It is able to separate the soul from the spirit, and to judge the most secret thoughts and intentions. It penetrates to the joints, to the marrow of the bones.”
Hebrews 4:12

“Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word spoken by the mouth of God.”
Matthew 4:4

God’s Word guides us when we are lost, strengthens us when we are weary, challenges us when we compromise, and encourages us when we are down. God’s Word changes everything.

And at this moment you hold the Word of God in your hand. The transformation is in your hands. Read the Bible carefully, delve into its verses, struggle with its teachings, and appreciate what you discover about the love and grace of God.

The best place to quench your thirst for newness is God and His Word. God’s Word renews our minds. The transformation from the inside out starts here.
