Being Transformed

Romans 12:2

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” The verb is present and passive—being transformed. The Christian life is not only a decisive turn. It is a continuing process in which the pattern of thinking is reshaped so that the pattern of living can follow.

How you’d preach it

Transformation is ongoing, not a single past event. The mind is a primary site of change.
