BIBLE STUDY
BEING TRANSFORMED– CHANGING BEHAVIOUR T
his is an adapted version of Section 3 from the Inspirations resource for 2022/2023. If your PW Group hasn’t used this material in your session, consider it for use in your own quiet time with God.
Aim: to help women understand that the transformation of our minds and hearts is expressed in our behaviour. Outcome: that women will intentionally encourage one another to grow in Christlike behaviour. Changing Behaviour – The Starting Point Think of the people God has used to influence you in your life so far. How did they influence you by what they said? How did they influence you by the example of their behaviour? Write them down in a journal and give thanks to God for them. What kind of people does God use to influence others in this way? Ordinary people like you and me! All God’s people start at the same point by trusting in Jesus for salvation. Then we all have to walk the path of ongoing, gradual transformation as his indwelling Spirit empowers us to become more like Jesus, renewing our mind through his Word. We are reminded in John 15:4-5 that ‘apart from [Christ] we can do nothing’. Christ produces the fruit, and we bear it. Let’s continually look to him to grow the fruit of the Spirit in our lives so that we are being transformed ever more into his likeness in our character and in our behaviour.
