Paul writes in Romans 12:2:
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
so that you may prove what the will of God is—that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”
To prove the will of God means to demonstrate it—to make it visible and real through your actions.
One of the clearest examples of this is in Luke 10:30–37, in the parable of the Good Samaritan.
“A Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion.” — Luke 10:33
The Samaritan was not the man’s neighbor by culture, race, or social circle. Yet he proved the will of God—he became the living example of God’s command to love your neighbor as yourself (Luke 10:27).
The Samaritan Proved God’s Will
The Samaritan didn’t quote a verse or preach a sermon.
He simply acted according to the heart of God.
In doing so, he became the evidence of what Paul describes in Romans 12:2—the proof of God’s will.
While others passed by, he revealed what God wanted His people to do.
He showed compassion.
He stepped into need.
He proved that love is not theory—it’s action.
You Are God’s Epistle
Paul writes,
“You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men.” — 2 Corinthians 3:2
In other words, we are the epistles of God—living letters that people read every day.
So when you come across a situation, ask yourself:
Is your mind renewed to the degree that you’ll act according to the Spirit?
Or is your mind still conformed to the patterns of this world, making you walk away?
Final Takeaway
The Samaritan didn’t need a title to prove God’s will—his renewed compassion did that for him.
You and I can do the same.
Every act of mercy, every moment of compassion, every choice to love over indifference—these are how we prove God’s will.
Let your renewed mind lead your actions,
so that through you, the world sees that the will of God is truly good, acceptable, and perfect.
