I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
the word conformed(syschēmatizō) in the greek means to fashion or shape one thing like another. So when it says we need to conform to this world, we should not look like the world in any fashion. This is a difficult thing to accomplish, from the music we listen too- to the clothes we wear. We need to conform to the image of God, when we do this we should look more like Him everyday.

REBEL ]Lecrae
(I know in our day, 'rebel' means 'sinner'.
But everyone is sinning, so it's no longer rebellious to sin!
Jesus was a rebel who was counter-cultural.)
No glory to me all glory's to the King on the throne (Jesus) you either love Him or leave Him alone but you can't do both yeah, I know you heard that once in song I pray you hear 10 more fo ya gone hey listen up, holmes The stage is the corner crowd is the streets That's why I rap the bread of life cause they dyin' to eat
I'm a rebel you know the kind that die in the street Cause you refuse to
conform, won't eat the kings meat yeah, Christ rebelled by shunning the
Cultured He eatin' with sinners givin Pharisees ulcers He never got married, He was broke plus homeless yeah that's the God I roll with ya boy gotta wife
and no I neva cheated I'm prayin for humility whenever I get heated forget
about the drugs rebel against pornography this ain't how it oughta be,
homie this is how it's gotta be A rebel
You're just a conformist if you're drunk and naked, and driving around on a motorcycle, smoking cigarettes and breaking commandments and getting pregnant out of wedlock. Everyone's done that! That's so tired. If you really want to be a rebel, read your Bible, because no one's doing that. That's rebellion. That's the only rebellion left!
