What does the Bible say about Transformation?
I found a good verse that defined of Transformation. "Change or renewal from a life that no longer conforms to the ways of the world to one that pleases God" (Romans 12:2).How do we know that a person who is transformed from Darkness to Light? The evidence of transformation within us is seen in the way we increasingly contemplate the identicalness and glory of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). if your body is controlled by the Spirit of God lives in you, then you are controlled NOT by the sinful nature. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, He does not belong to Christ (Romans 8:9).
How can we be considered as children of God?
We must be led by the Spirit of God. And it is through the power of God's Spirit that Jesus Christ lives within us. For instance of Transformed life mirrors the attitude of the apostle Paul: " I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live , but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20 ).
This power of transformation comes from one source Jesus Christ is only one way but no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.
Transformed lives begin with the gospel message of Christ, for in it is the power of God. it is the gospel that brings us salvation : " I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: First for the Jew, then for the Gentile." For in the gospel a righteousness form God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "the righteous will live by faith" (Romans 1:16-17).
Through the gospel message of Christ, We have to put off your old self , which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, to be renewed in the Spirit of your mind, and to put on the new self, created after the identicalness of God in true righteousness and holiness" (Ephesians 4:22-24).
For you who live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God" (Romans 8:13-14). *Spirit- Jesus Christ
Finally, before apostle Paul died, he gave us specific instruction on how we are to live out our transformed lives: “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness ... for if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:3-11).
I praying this message will touch your heart and realized that you need to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner to life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, but if you decide to put on the new self with renewed in the Spirit of your mind and be created after the identicalness of God in true righteousness and holiness. If you do these thing, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
