I was talking to my Pastor about this verse and about strongholds of the mind and how we fall into wrong thought patterns. Then when I was reading my bible I just casually opened up my bible and this was the verse that I opened to. That night my Pastor taught a lesson to the men and one of the verses was this verse also
Rom 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Rom 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Rom 12:3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.
What do you think Paul means by renewal or renewing the mind? How do we do that?
