A Renewed Mind Leads to a Transformed Life.

Read Romans 12:1-2

CGL Notes: These verses teach us that God’s mercy is not only what God lavishes on us, but it is the power that works in us and fuels our lives in everything we do! The byproduct of viewing God’s mercy and renewing our mind in the Gospel leads to a transformed life!

Read Romans 12:9-13

CGL Notes: This passage shows us what a renewed mind in the Gospel looks like when it comes to our relationship with others and our mindset in times of affliction! These qualities/characteristics are not things we strive to do in order to be made right with God, these are things that characterize us as we renew our minds in the Gospel and grow into the image of Jesus! This list is God’s will for His people! To be in the world but not of the world. To Love and think differently than the world does! The Gospel and what God has done for us, and the renewing of our minds with God’s word is what gives us this mindset!

Questions:

What does this passage teach us about God and His will for His people?

Why is it important to Fix our eyes on Jesus and constantly revisit His mercy and our salvation before we set out to do these things in our own power?

How are these instructions a different mindset than that of the world?
