Living a transformed life by Case Treat.   Every Christian needs a renewed mind. A mind that is transformed after the model of Christ's mind.  A believer's mind is the same after and before forgiveness, only the spirit is instantly transformed through the grace of God. Behavior pattern, actions, and lifestyles all begin in the mind. Before you can initiate change in your life, you will need to renew your mind to the word of God. Then you will see the changes you desire by a difference in your actions.
