"and be renewed in the spirit of your mind."
the only way for me to let the holy spirit renew my mind is if i let the old mindset and ways of thinking completely go. i can't be saved and not saved at the same time just like i can't poor vinegar into oil and expect them to form together as one. as i continue to let the holy spirit renew my mind giving my god every fiber of my being letting go habits and a lustful deceitful mindset i notice my heart having love for those i once hated, a attitude that ables me to admit when i'm wrongs and learn from them with an open mind and my eyes being opened to knew perspectives on life.
application: continue to try and notice old habits so i can use my new attitude to correct my wrongs making more space in my heart and mind for god/holy spirit to renew my thinking everyday. keep letting go of the fronts that i let define me and letting the holy spirit define who i really am like a light shining before god.
verses that came to mind during my writhing...
phil. 2:12 "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is god who works in you both to will and to do for his good pleasure."
Matthew 5:14-16 "you are the light of the world. a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden, nor do they light a lamp and put it under a blanket, but on a lamp-stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven."
