We can't overstate the impact of attitude in a person\u2019s life. Outside of our relationship with Jesus, there\u2019s probably no other factor that will determine your success or failure more in life.\xa0
And you\u2019ve probably noticed that attitudes run in groups. In other words, individual attitudes attract people with similar attitudes. And you can often see certain attitudes passed down from one generation to another, so much so, that families are commonly known by their attitudes. We have the old story of the two fighting families\u2026 the Hatfields and the McCoys.
Families have distinct attitudes. Businesses have attitudes, the same is true with restaurants, airlines, and churches.
Romans 12:2 NLT
2 Don\u2019t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God\u2019s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.\xa0
Don\u2019t miss what Paul is saying. He\u2019s warning us. Don\u2019t copy the world\u2019s way of thinking.
\xa0As a follower of Christ, don\u2019t take on the attitudes of the world around you, but instead, let God transform you. That word for transform here is the Greek word methamorpho, which is where we get our English word metamorphosis. It means a complete change; a total transformation.\xa0 Let God morph you, totally change you by changing the way you think.
The bottom line, when you come to Christ, he changes the way you think, which means there should be a dramatic change in your attitude. He transforms the way you relate to everything.
