Rom 12: 2 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.
2 Cor 3:17Now
the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18But
we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are
changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the
Lord.
Be not conformed to this world. The word
conformed here, means to be liken to a pattern. To an image or a blueprint. We
are not supposed to be a copy of this world. Shaped like, or formed like this
world. On the contrary, we are supposed to be shaped like heaven. We should
reflect Jesus. The first church was given the nickname Christians. Which means
Christ like. Because they were so like Christ. That is our goal. To be like
him.
How then do we become like him? We read
here in 2 Cor 3:18, By being in his presence. Surround us with his glory, and
we are changed into the same image.
By placing us in his hands, and he will shape us like clay in a Potters hand. Until he can see heaven and Jesus in us.
By placing us in his hands, and he will shape us like clay in a Potters hand. Until he can see heaven and Jesus in us.
Spend all your time looking at, and
listen to worldly things and you will be formed like this world. Spend time
with Jesus, and you will be formed like him.
