The Process of Renewing Your Mind
1. Receptivity—Check your attitude.
Do I really believe that God’s truth can transform me?
Am I willing to let God’s truth change me and my life?
Has God already revealed truth to me I am unwilling to obey?
Am I cultivating a submissive and obedient attitude?
2. Comprehension—Check your level of understanding.
What new truth have I become aware of by reading my Bible, paying attention to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and going to church or listening to other Christians?
What does this truth mean with regard to what I think, say, and do?
What are the consequences of not applying this truth to my life?
3. Conviction—Check your level of belief.
Am I convinced that it is important to apply this new revealed truth to my life as God shows me how?
Do I truly believe that God is working in and through his Holy Spirit to lead me?
4. Transformation—Check your commitment.
Am I willing to embrace what God has revealed to me and allow it to change my perception and actions?
What is the next thing I should do to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in my transformation?
James 1:22 tells us, “Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” NLT. God has given us the Bible to help us in our journey of discovery. Allow the Holy Spirit to use it in your life and enjoy the adventure.
