Do Not Conform: But be transformed

Do not conform to the ways of this world. As Christians living in a foreign land, how do we live while waiting to inherit our home in God's Kingdom? We must live in this present world while we are waiting. With all of its evil, crime and temptations and to do what the rest of the world is doing. Living by their standards.

Christians are to come out of this lifestyle and live according to the laws set up by God. We must know how we are living and not just fit into the ways of this world. We must always know our actions and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us. This is not an easy thing to do, as the pressures and temptations of this world are powerful.

It is just too easy to fall into our old ways of living.

God tells us in "Rom 12:2 Do 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."

When we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we became a new creation as we see in

2Cor 5:17. "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."

We must resist the temptation to follow the world, or, in other words, we must not conform.

The best way to avoid the ways of this world is to keep reading the words from God, The Bible.

It is very easy to follow others, especially if we have family members, friends and relatives who are not interested in following Jesus. We may follow their examples because we are afraid of offending them. We are afraid they will leave us out of activities that we would usually attend.
