Following Christ involves inner transformation. God is not only interested in changing our actions — He wants to renew our hearts, thoughts, and desires.
📖 Romans 12:2
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
📖 Ezekiel 36:26
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you.”
Renewal of the heart happens as we spend time with God through His Word, prayer, and obedience. Over time, our thinking begins to reflect Christ’s character.
A renewed heart shows in:
Choosing forgiveness over bitterness
Choosing truth over lies
Choosing love over anger
Choosing God’s way over personal desires
Biblical example:
David experienced renewal after repentance and asked God to change his heart.
📖 Psalm 51:10
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
Renewal is not a one-time event — it is a daily process of becoming more like Christ.
So the more we take time in God’s word,our understanding about the knowledge of God becomes more and our nature naturally now response to things differently . The bible says when we know the truth, then the truth will set you free ,The freedom is in the new life of truth that we live by representing Christ on earth.
here is what to ponder on .
Reflection Question:
What is one habit, thought, or attitude you want God to help you renew in your heart this week?
Renewal begins in the heart. When God changes our hearts, our lives begin to change too. 🤍
