The world is a major influence causing people to go against being who they are. They constantly choose what is popular, trendy, or gets attention. But that’s the opposite of what God calls us to do.
In Romans 12:2, we are not called to be influenced by the world or sin. Instead, we are called to be different, living a witness of God to others. Don’t conform, be different!
The Holy Spirit can take a man whose mind is blind to the truth of God, whose will is at enmity with God, whose affections are corrupt and vile, and transform that man, impart to him a new nature, so that he thinks God's thoughts, love what God loves, and hate what God hates.
