Nonconformity

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2

In Romans 12:1, we are called to live as living sacrifices to our God. This is followed about our nonconformmity to this world. This reminds me of what Jesus said that we are not to be of this world (John 17). Jesus has sanctified us through his ministry and resurrection. Now, we not only have words to follow, but an example. Jesus wants us to reject the World's standards and live by His standards--to be HOLY and PURE.

Let us pray over this and begin to seek His journey through our own lives.
