Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 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 12:1-2 (NIV)
"In view of God's mercy." everything hinges on God's mercy, His infinite love and unbounded grace.
The Christian's life begins and ends with God's mercy.
The definition of a Christian? Someone who allows God's mercy to be the FILTER through which they look at all people and the INSPIRATION for all their actions.

Transformed, Non-conformist
Romans 12:1-1 in a nutshell
The world has a pattern that it is trying to weave. Don't conform to it.
God has a love he is weaving into the world. Be transformed by it.
Live in view of God's mercy.
This term "transformed, non-conformist" comes from a sermon by MLK, when he calls all people to stand up against racial injustice in light of God's love for all people. Read the sermon here:
