As Christians, we are to present ourselves as living sacrifices unto the Lord. Our lives are not our own. Our old life was crucified along with Jesus and we are a new creation.

One way to know if we are actually living this out, is to examine ourselves to see if we are looking more and more like Christ or more and more like the world. Is the fruit of the Holy Spirit more evident in our daily lives? Do we have more joy, peace and love in our hearts then we did this time last year?

The key is in renewing our minds. We must let God’s Word wash daily over our minds and hearts. Do we go to God in prayer and wait upon Him?

What we think about greatly influences how we live. Do we guard what comes into our minds on a regular basis? Are we daily in God’s Word? Do we check facebook more than we check our hearts? Could someone tell that we love Christ by reviewing everything we watch, read, and meditate upon?

God promises He will finish what He starts in us. (Philippians 1:6). Are we surrendering to Him as He shapes us? Or are we getting side tracked by the world and it’s”wisdom”.

I want to be transformed to look and live as Jesus did! How about you?🩵
