Do not conform any longer to the culture of this world, but instead be transformed by the renewing of your mind and change the way you think. Then you will learn a new way of living now understanding what God’s will is for your life, which is a better life. (Romans 12:2-4) συσχηματίζεσθε (syschēmatizesthe)- “To Identify With” or “To Conform” 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled. (Matthew 5:13) You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that it gives light to everyone in the house.” (Matthew 5:14-15) Live brightly…to be a light in a dark world. 16 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Agathos- good in quality and useful Kalos- pleasing and beautiful. We are not asked to live counter culturally for the sake of opposing culture…We are asked to live counter culturally because when you are following Jesus down the narrow dirt path your life becomes something beautiful that naturally gives off light in a dark world because you are radiating the light of God.
