Transformed, Not Conformed #RTTBROS #nightlight #normankissinger #NK

Verse: "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 12:2 (KJV)

In this devotion, the speaker discusses the critical difference between repentance and compliance. Many parents have experienced their children professing faith when they were younger, only to find them living away from the Lord as they grew older. This raises the question: Is it enough for someone to merely change their outward behavior, or is a genuine heart transformation necessary?

The Apostle Paul states that people will either be transformed by the power of Jesus Christ or continue to conform to the world's standards. It is easy for teachers of the Gospel to assume that outward changes indicate an inward transformation, but this is not always the case. People can conform to a church, a cult, or a certain way of thinking without truly being changed by Christ from the inside out.

As workers in the gospel, it is crucial to understand, teach, and proclaim the difference between transformation and conformation. The Christian life is about being transformed into the image of the Holy God, as demonstrated in the life of Christ, rather than simply acting like a good churchgoer.

In every age, there have been conformations both in the church and in the world, with people following different groups or ways of thinking. However, it is transformation that is necessary to save America and the church as we move into the end times. Let us strive for genuine heart change through the power of Christ, rather than mere outward compliance.
