30 Days of Truth
Day 13 – renew your mind
Ephesians 4:22-25 KJV
[22] That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; [23] And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; [24] And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. [25] Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
“Renewing our mind daily.”
Perhaps you’ve heard this phrase before.
But what does it really mean?
You may read your daily scripture, or daily chapters (if you’re on a year-long Bible reading plan), but maybe you don’t find yourself changing all that much.
It isn’t “renewing your mind” to simply “read” scripture.
It isn’t even “renewing your mind” to hear the scripture.
“Renewing your mind” is about choosing daily to appropriate every good truth that God believes about you.
“Renewing your mind” is about changing your focus and your attention off the things that are remnants of who you were before and focusing on who you are now in Christ’s nature.
“Renewing your mind” is about choosing to outwardly express the character and personage of Christ living in you, instead of expressing an old sinful nature that is dead and gone.
Reading and listening to the Bible is important, useful and strengthening.
Hearing from the Holy Spirit living in you, and expressing His nature daily is life changing.
Don’t just read words on a page.
Renew your mind.
