We are not of this world. We are citizens of heaven. To those who believe in Jesus, God gives His own life, His divine nature. John says we are "from God." We are supernatural.
Paul scolds the Corinthians for acting like "mere men." Most of us do the same. How do we avoid that mistake? Acting like normal, everyday human beings just seems to come...well, naturally. How do we learn to live like the supernatural beings we are?
"Be transformed by the renewing of your minds." Step one...heck, maybe all the steps are just this: change your mind. Eradicate every trace of belief that you are "only human." Practice seeing yourself as God's offspring, a new creation, a heavenly being in an earthly disguise.
My suspicion is, the more you identify yourself with the divine, the more you will allow God's nature and the character of Jesus to ooze and gush and pour out of its hiding place in your spirit. Forget trying to change your behavior; devote yourself to a radical change of mind. Simple, really: see yourself as supernatural, and supernatural actions will follow.
