Would you like to get God’s best for your life? Chip continues in Romans 12, and reveals how you can get God’s best.

Negative Command: “Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world…”

• Passive voice
• Imperative
• Present tense

Translation: Stop allowing yourselves to be molded by the influences and pressures of this present world system.

Application: We are to be SEPARATE from the world’s values. -1 Jn. 2:15-17

Summary: The world’s system seeks to SEDUCE us from our love for Christ by PLEASURE, POSSESSIONS, and POSITION.

Positive Command: “…but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

• Passive voice
• Imperative
• Present tense

Translation: But allow God to completely change your inward thinking and outward behavior by cooperating wholeheartedly moment-by-moment with the Spirit’s renewing process.
