1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 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. - Romans 12:1-2.



What is the will of God. Be it the good will, the acceptable will, or the perfect will of God.



The renewing of the Mind: the transformation of the Mind from the knowledge of Good and Evil, to the knowledge of and in, the mind of Christ. The will of God is written; you must be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Not his mind renewed to you, but the renewing of your mind to him that is in you. Even Jesus Christ. A new mind to go with the new creation.



The will of God is not where you go, what eat, where you live or how you exist. Other than the born-again believer having the mind of Christ.



This is a beautiful scripture. The scripture allows the believer to understand, lets them know; that one of the greatest powers that can be known to mankind is the power of the mind to be changed. You cannot change a lot of things in this world, but the one thing that can be changed is the mind. For you see that on the cross and the power of the Cross was to make the exchange in nature that existed in mankind, that is spirit not mind.



And the scripture says, our text verse; that the power can be known to the believer to change their mind. A mind change. That happens by the transforming and the renewing of that mind. The exchange of Nature's - of lives - from death to life on the cross. It was an exchange of death life to life life, not a change but exchange, that happened in spirit. Now the change for their mind will come upon renewing that mind, transformed by the renewing of the mind through the scriptures. Bless you!

Hello soul man,

You are right and this is a good encouraging post about the truth of how it is the person themselves are to change their mind in looking towards God and the Lord Jesus Christ - God will allow you to have your own thoughts, will and emotion but it is up the person if they desire to have that changed. Believe that God can write on the hearts and minds of others but it something is a willingly participation on the person to allow it to be done to them in the becoming renewed into the new creation by and through the change of the heart which God will allow to happen when the person decides to turn their own will towards His will.

Here is a scripture that am reminded up when it comes to the question;

What is God's will for us as believers in Christ Jesus? It is founded in 1 Thessalonians 5:14-22.
