Romans 12:2 … Renewing the Mind (02/28/17)
“Be transformed by the renewing of your minds,
so that you may discern what is the Will of God”
~ Paul (Romans 12:2)
While it is true that the “renewing of our minds” (i.e. the refreshing of our perspective – primarily by becoming “humble as an infant” in the way we choose to see both our station & the others therein; see Matthew 18:3-4) does enable us to “discern the Will of God”, that discernment will not become truly lucid until we choose to charge forth and engage a Great Leap of Faith into the radical acts of Love mandated by the same.
This is why Jesus said that “only those who do what is true will come to the Light” (John 3:21) and that “those who have done Good will rise to Live” (John 5:29) and that “you should do for others as I have done for you” (John 13:15) and that “If you understand these things, blessed are you while you do them” (John 13:17) and that “Not everyone who merely says to me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of the Father in Heaven” (Matthew 7:21-23) – a will which is active, perfect, unconditional Love (Matthew 5:48).
Amen … Let it be so.
