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 12:2

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
