"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 12:2
Even though this verse is part of a letter Paul wrote to the Romans and not directly portraying an attribute of God, it still is. We are commanded to be like God, so why would he tell us to be something that isn't God-like? I'll admit I had to be extra creative for this letter, because I didn't want to put something shallow such as "nice" or "needed" or something else that doesn't require much thinking. I wanted to think outside the box. So that's it. God doesn't have to comply with the norms or change Himself to be God. God is in and of Himself non-conformity at it's best.
