Romans 12:2
Renewing our minds does not come naturally, there is no automatic "delete button" that erases past programming. We have to consciously know the Word of God (The Holy Bible) so that we can understand who we are from God's perspective. And who are we?
If, we have repented of our sins, by asking God to forgive us for the things we have done that goes against His Word and accepted what His Son, Jesus Christ, has done for us by dying on the cross, they we are a child of the Living God!
1 John 1:1-3 says, "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the World does not know us is that it did not know Him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure."
Once we accept all Jesus has done for us and invited Him to lead our lives we are no longer a product of our past. we are primarily products of Christ's work on the cross.
Before we came to Jesus we were spiritually dead in our trespasses and sins, and we learned to live our life independent of God. Our identity and perception of ourselves were formed and programmed into our minds through what others said about us and did to us. That's why Paul, the writer of Romans, says we need to renew our mind.
I pray for you today, that you will come to know who you truly are in God and that you will learn a new pattern of living.
You are dearly loved by your creator!
