“Be ye 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.”
Rom 12:2
Sin
in and of itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own.
Naturally, it may be used by evil man for evil purposes or selfish gain, but
the goodness of God is greater, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the
path of righteousness by worldly propaganda or the flesh, it can certainly be conquered
by those who act in the moral absolutes of God’s righteousness. Absolute truth
is as universally true as that which established it (God); not the relative
whim or acceptance of that which it was provided for (man). “What God does is always consistent with who
God is, He always acts according to His Holy character. His internal righteousness is the moral
excellence of His character, thus God is moral absolute.” The transforming of
our minds goes beyond our refusal to conform to the world’s behavior and customs.
One can avoid customs and still be
proud, arrogant or simply evil.
Transformation is the process of the Holy Spirit renewing, reeducating
and redirecting your mind towards the moral standards and absolutes of God’s
truth for your life, not a refocus based on the feelings or sincerity of your
thoughts; this is objective morality verses absolute morality.
Becoming
who God intended starts with absolutely acknowledging who God is and allowing your mind to be transformed to His likeness!
