Kevin Omondi
Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, , language: English, abstract: This essay depicts the common problem to be facing the modern student of the New Testament, which is the conformity to the standard of the current world.To address this problem, the author of Roman 12 is pointing us, to the life of transformation as a specific application. The New Testament being a document, which has been in existence universally, contains this call for transformation in the renewed heart. We realized that the conformity and transformation do not exit together; one has to make a decision to transform in order to remain relevant in the renewed heart. To further maintain within the transformed mind, one has to respond to God by a way of confession, repentance and being baptized. This action will humble one to remain within the transformed life in the renewal of their mind.
