Being Transformed and Renewed
"Be transformed, by the renewing of your mind..." (Romans 12:2)
When the Spirit renews our minds, all of life becomes an act of worship.
That's because the Spirit not only opens our eyes to see who Christ really is, but also breaks our hearts to see who we really are.
And rather than this being some deathly experience of unending humiliation, seeing ourselves as broken and in need of a Savior actually liberates us.
It frees us from self-absorption and throws us on the mercy of God with joyous gratitude and love.
"But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not by works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy, by the washing and regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior." (Titus 3:5)
