Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual[a] act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.

God tell us in his word not to be conformed to the world but to be transformed by renewing of your mind. how do we renew our mind? by feed the word to it on a daily basis. you could take a pot full on sludge and by mearly running tap water into it, the pot will get clean. Yes there may be some spots that need a little scrubbing, but eventually it will shine clean as new. That is what the Word will do in our lives if we let it. We can be like a fresh running stream that can irrigate and refresh everything it touches. As we clean ourselves by the washing of the Word, our faith grows from the same Word so that we are equipped to touched others.
