CGMI ABOVE ONLY - KEEP BEING TRANSFORMED

Keep Being Transformed	TUESDAY JAN. 31

Romans 12:2 (GNB & KJV)Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God---what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect. *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.

Your walk with God is a glorious journey and in this journey, God wants to continue to transform you more and more into the image of Christ. 2Corinthians 3:18 says that as we continue to behold the glory of Christ, God will continue to transform us from glory to glory by His Spirit, into the image of Christ. Focus more on the glory of Christ as you pray and study the Word of God in your fellowship with God and the Spirit of God will continually transform you into more of Christ's likeness.

God wants you and I to be like Christ in all things, Eph.4:15. Your desire for transformation should not stop until you are like Christ in every single area of your life. You are not of this world so do not envy people of this world. Do not desire to be like them. You are from above so you should desire things that pertain to the higher life of Christ that you have, Col.3:1-2. As you become more like Christ, you will save your soul and the people of this world will desire to be like you. The purpose of your faith is the salvation of your soul, 1Pet.1:9.

2Peter 1:5-8 shows us that we must continue to diligently add virtue, knowledge, self control, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness and love to our faith if we want to remain fruitful in our knowledge of Christ. Our text above shows us that our ability to continually know God's will for our lives lies in our willingness to allow God to continually transform us as we renew our minds. Remain focused on growing, being transformed and becoming more like Christ each day. Maintain a strong desire to keep being transformed.

PRAYER: Tell God you desire that your mind be continually renewed and that your life be transformed into more of Christ's likeness.
