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 NASB 95

Negative Command: “Do not be conformed to this world.”

Positive Command: “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

1 John 2:15-17 NASB 95

Lust of the flesh: the passion to feel (hedonism)

Lust of the eyes: passion to possess (materialism) Pride of life: passion to be (narcissism) 

Assignment:

1. Reread 1 John 2:15-17 and circle the word “love.” The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, pride of life—which of these do you struggle with the most?

2. Where do you battle the most? What about the world’s system draws you in and tempts you the most?

3. In Matthew 4:4 NASB 95, Jesus says, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” Are you shaped more by the world or by the Word? Pray and ask God to show you areas of your life that are more influenced by the world than by His Word.
