"transformed" is a complete and utter change from what we once were, to what we are to be in Christ. once saved, we should be changed from our sinful flesh to be more like Christ with each passing day.
i have seen people who have claimed Christ and no change has occurred and i have seen people who have claimed Christ and it is a complete night and day comparison between what they were and what they are. it is great to see who people dramatically changed by Christ. their entire outlook on life can be altered in a matter of days or even hours with belief in Jesus Christ. it is a great thing to see.
however, it is incredibly sad to see people who claim Christ, and no change happens. eternity is no small matter, but something that should be considered with respect.
we are not of this world, so we should not look as if we are. we are to be different. so live different
The word transformed connotes a change from the inside out, rather than from external pressure.
ReplyDeleteGod only changes us as much as we relinquish, so we must be willing to give Him everything if we truly want everything to be renewed.
