12 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:1-2

I was listening to this sermon that is related to the above verses

The scripture tells us to not be conformed, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Can you tell me what you think it means to be transformed by the renewing of your mind? What role to we have and what role does God have in this happening? Do you agree with the speaker that we are either moving forward in our spiritual life or moving backward?
