The opposite

Romans 12

Be opposite to the believe and living practices of this world.
We are no longer obligated by the "pattern of this world."
Do not conform to it and be " transformed by the renewing of your mind."
To transform the mind, or renew the mind takes a knowledge. Knowledge from God. The Bible.
It is when you acquire this knowledge from the Bible that is from God, it is when you can see if "God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

With great knowledge comes great power, and hence do not be arrogant, but be aware of the the measure of faith God has given me.

Use the gift and continue to teach, share and give to others, just as Christ gave to me.

The next section is super convicting and challenging at times.
Loving your enemies is one principal that defies worldly patterns.
Next time someone that is following me too closely on the road, or tailgating, I have to "bless" them, not curse them or hate them. Forgive and move on.

To God be the Glory.
