  • It is only through the transformation of a renewed mind that we can know what is the perfect will of God.

  • If you should have ever have the inclination to make sure that you are Christ-like, the time is now. Make sure that your life is hidden in Christ!

  • As your spiritual life progresses, your thought-life should also progress from "Christlessness" to Christlikeness.

  • Transformation means ‘a changed heart in an individual in which his/her temper and disposition are made to reflect God’s image.’

  • Transformation is continuous. We are conformed to the image of Christ as we fellowship with Him daily. The start may be messy, but God will change you into something beautiful.

  • A renewed mind indicates a complete change for the better, and an adjustment of one’s moral and spiritual vision. It also includes a reshaping of one’s overall mindset, including that person’s feelings and will.

  • A mindset dedicated to God’s truth will produce a life that can stand the test of time and is in right principle with God. Pay attention to who you are in Christ.

  • Make sure that the way you live is blameless before God and spotless from the world. This can only be done through the influence of God’s word in your life.

  • The renewed mind is committed to the ideals of the kingdom of God.
