The process of change

“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” Romans 12:2

When we accept Christ in our lives we die to the self and submit to Christ’s leadership as directed by the Holy Spirit. This is not easy because we are used to thinking in a particular way based on worldly standards. Although we have accepted to be drafted into the kingdom of God, we are still in the world and struggle with worldly pursuit that clash with spiritual values.

Paul writes, “I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members” Romans 7:22-23. The Holy Spirit teaches us and guides us how to live under kingdom principle and direct us towards the narrow path. We however have input in how change will happen because we still retain our will.
