Romans 12: 2 reads: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." You can know God’s will by honoring and obeying him, and by refusing to be influenced by societal pressures or shifting cultural norms. Just because everyone says something is morally permissible, does not make it so. The Word of God molds our beliefs, not the world. This is one reason why your mind must be renewed daily. Every day the world tries to influence how you think. You need to exchange the world's opinions for God's will. As we replace our old way of thinking and adopt an entirely new perspective—in line with God’s point of view, i.e. His Word, you will begin to recognize God’s will more and more. You will find it easier to hear his voice in a variety of situations. God may not dictate the details of our lives (such as what specific clothes to wear), but he will give us spiritual principles for everyday decisions. Knowing God’s will results from doing his will as revealed in Scripture.
