How to Get God's Best for Your Life


Listen Later

Would you like to get God’s best for your life? Chip continues in Romans 12, and reveals how you can get God’s best.

Negative Command:Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world…”

  • Passive voice
  • Imperative
  • Present tense

Translation: “Stop allowing yourselves to be molded by the influences and pressures of this present world system.”

Application: We are to be SEPARATE from the world’s values. -1 Jn. 2:15-17

Summary: The world’s system seeks to SEDUCE us from our love for Christ by PLEASURE, POSSESSIONS, and POSITION.

Positive Command: “…but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

  • Passive voice
  • Imperative
  • Present tense

Translation: “But allow God to completely change your inward thinking and outward behavior by cooperating wholeheartedly moment-by-moment with the Spirit’s renewing process.”

Application: Are you shaped more by the WORLD or the WORD? -Mat. 4:4; 2 Cor. 3:18

The means of transformation: “…by the renewing of your mind.”

  • Renewing your mind is a continual REFOCUS of a Romans 12:1 perspective.
  • Renewing your mind will always involve a BATTLE.
  • Renewing your mind is a SUPERNATURAL work of the Spirit.

Practical methods for “Renewing Your Mind”

  1. HEARING God’s Word -Rom. 10:17
  2. Use your TIME wisely. Be in the Word.
  3. READ God’s Word -Rev. 1:3
  4. STUDY God’s Word -2 Tim. 2:15
  5. MEMORIZE God’s Word -Psa. 119:9,11
  6. MEDITATE on God’s Word -Jos. 1:8
