The Renewed Mind
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.' ...[Romans 12:2]
The person that has a renewed mind do think about the final consequence of the things he does or chooses. There are things that interrogate lust in our flesh and eyes, or pride in life against the will of God for us. How can we overcome the temptations of these things? It is to think clear about how our lives would be after choosing them. Some of these things can offer us temporal pleasures, yet we will get to know that they will give us load of sufferings in the end. The word of the Lord says: 'there is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death(Proverbs 16:25).'
When the word of the Lord commanded us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, he meant that we are to grow in righteous thinking to ensure we choose that which is good, over lies. The devil brings the lies of materialism and orgies for lust and corrupt attitudes in the man. The will God, however, is to change us to walk in perfect light and freedom through the following of the steps of Jesus Christ, the Lord.
Think about how studies of the Bible can help inspire you to overcome habits like pornography watching and masturbation. Also think about how a scheduled prayer life can help you focus on God and refuse prolonged worries. Think as well about how right meditation will bring you foresight of correct works, into a future of love, joy and peace, over sinful acts that lead to shame and guilt.
