How to Be Renewed in Your Mind.

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

What does it truly mean to have a renewed mind? Is the Apostle Paul merely suggesting that we change the way we think about things, circumstances, or particular situations? Or is there a deeper meaning that he had personally experienced, but may not have been able to fully understand or explain?

I think there are many places in the Scriptures where a Biblical author writes what the Holy Spirit tells them to write, but doesn't fully understand the deeper meaning of what they may be saying.

I'll give you an example.

In Psalm 139:13-16, King David had no concept of DNA when he intricately gives details into how God created each of us by weaving together every single strand of our DNA.

He writes, "For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb." -v.13.

David wasn't a scientist or physician. He didn't have an education in micro-biology or access to an electron-microscope. He had no concept of what DNA looked like. He didn't know it was in the shape of a wrapped double helix, but yet he describes it in a writing that took place thousands of years before DNA was ever discovered.

Side note: If you're wondering about that, this is why we call God our Heavenly Father, and why Jesus taught the disciples to call God our Father when they prayed. God truly is our real Father. Ok back to it...sorry for the interruption.
