Three Ways we are Changed

1. How We Think

Romans 12:2
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of Yahweh.

Matthew 16:23
23 But He Yahshua turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of Yahweh, but the things of men."

Matthew 22:37-38
37 Yahshua said to him, " 'You shall love the Yahweh your Elohim (God) with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great commandment.

Philippians 4:8-9
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the Elohim of peace will be with you.

2. How We Act

Proverbs 20:11
11 Even a child is known by his deeds, whether what he does is pure and right.

Jeremiah 7:3
3 Thus says the Yahweh of hosts, the Elohim of Israel: “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.”

Titus 1:15-16
15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know Elohim, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

Galatians 5:19-24
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past,
that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of Yahweh. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Messiah’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

3. How We Speak

James 1:26
26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.

James 3:3-5
3 Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!

1 Peter 3:8-10
8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; 9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For "He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.

Be the Body of the Messiah, show that you have been Set-Apart (Holy) or changed into His likeness in all that you Think, Act, and Speak! Then go into all the world and be an instrument of change.
