Transformed
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1, 2
To be "conformed to this world" is to offer one's self to its calls.
Be going to school is to sacrifice oneself to it so that one will pass the grade.
To go to work is to sacrifice one's self to the job and will reap the reward by a pay check.
That is being "conformed to this world."
To offer one's self as a "living sacrifice" in a holy way which is a set apart unto Him is to be transformed by the renewing of our mind so that we may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
A truly living sacrifice unto Him will make that one a vessel for Him to use for His will.
A conformed to this world Christian is but one living in rotten flesh.
A transformed Christian is one that is consumed by the fire of an all consuming God to be a sweet savour unto Him.
