Heart – God Is Love

Romans 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. Transformed means to change in form, appearance, or use. Renew is an activity after an interruption. This Scripture tells us that we need our mind changed and then after the interruption of being transformed, we can be renewed. Here the Apostle Paul is talking to the churches in Rome. He hopes to go and see them but eventually ends up in Rome as a prisoner. This Scripture tells us that when our minds are transformed, we are then able to know what God’s will is. Knowing what God’s will is important. However, the most important part is acting upon that knowing. Many say that knowledge is power, but acting on knowledge is power. Here, clearly the Apostle Paul is telling us that when our minds are renewed by the power of the Gospel, we can then understand God better. He loves us all so very much. Have you ever wondered why obedience is so important to God? I learned this in a bible study called Inner Healing. Obedience means that we are acting out of our “free will”. Our “free will” is the only God had not allowed Himself to control. When we are obedient to God we are using our own free will. We must however, have our minds and our hearts transformed by His Word in order to know and act on obediently with our free will.

Perhaps that is why God wants our entire heart. When […]
