Transformation

Do you long for renewal?

All around the world, people are longing for change. We want to shed old habits and ways of thinking when they no longer serve us. That’s why there are thousands of books, podcasts, articles, and all kinds of media focused on self-help. We want to change! But is it really possible?

Paul, one of the apostles of Jesus, shares this powerful truth with us in 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.”

Change through the renewing of our entire way of thinking. What does that mean? It’s a radical transformation, something that completely reshapes us from the inside out. Like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly, this transformation puts an end to what was and marks the beginning of something entirely new.

Paul reminds us that such transformation is not something that happens from the outside in. It happens from the inside out — and it begins with our thinking.

But in order for our thinking to change, we need a truth to hold on to.

That truth is God’s Word.

“All Scripture is God-breathed…” (2 Timothy 3:16–17)
“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)
“…Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)

God’s Word guides us when we are lost. It strengthens us when we are weary. It challenges us when we take it lightly, and it encourages us when we feel overwhelmed. God’s Word changes everything.

Right now, you are holding God’s Word in your hands. Transformation is within reach.

Read the Bible carefully. Meditate on the verses. Engage deeply with its teachings. Treasure the insights you receive about God’s love and grace.

Bring your desire for renewal to God and to His Word. For it is God’s Word that renews our minds. Transformation — from the inside out — begins here.
