God's Will...

"The Word of God must shape us, the Spirit of God must fill us, and the purposes of God must become ours. Our minds must be renewed." Chris Tiegreen

2Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will. ~ Romans 12:2 (NIV)

Transformed Into God's Likeness

"I want to go deeper before I go farther, and as I go farther, I must become more and more transformed into the likeness of God by worshiping Him more fully and more constantly." ~ J. B. Chapman

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ~ Romans 12:2 (NIV 1984)

Life Giving

"With the coming of Jesus and the outpouring of the Spirit, God brought his promised new covenant. This new covenant does not revolve around the giving of a law -- of letters written on a page commanding certain behaviors -- but it revolves around the purifying power of the Holy Spirit to transform us to be like Jesus and to conform us to the holy character and compassion of God himself. God wants us to understand that the focus of the Spirit is life-giving, not law-bringing." ~ Phil Ware
