Listen, and let God do what He knows is best …His will! God’s plan for us is good and pleasing and perfect. “Let God …” These two words are so crucial. We can also copy the world right into its empty promises. We can copy someone all the way to Christ. Our refusal to conform to this world, however, must go even deeper than just behavior and customs- it must be firmly planted in the values rooted in our minds.”
“Paul warned Christians about following the selfish and corrupt patterns of this fallen world,” the Life Application Study Bible explains, “Many Christians wisely decide that a large portion of the world’s behavior is off-limits for them. We are literally called to be Christ Jesus copy-cats. We are all called to lead others to Christ Jesus as part of the Great Commission, but to do so, we follow in the footsteps of the Lord. In this world, we have leaders and followers. When we were grown adults, she admitted to hiding it under the mattress she had been sitting on that day as I roamed her room like a crazy person.Ĭopy-cat isn’t usually a kind term, but the reality of a copy-cat is complimentary.

Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” - Romans 12:2 NLT “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.
