Transformation
Transformation : Change into a whole new form.
It is a holistic Change from The inside — out !
We look the best being transformed into the Image of Christ. It’s worth a life time of being transformed into the image of Christ.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
Put off the old ways !
“You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:22-24.
Illuminated by God’s light:
Everything that is illuminated, becomes a light.
We become light, by being illuminated by the source of light.
“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in The LORD. Live as children of light.” Ephesians 5:8
“But everything exposed by the light becomes visible — and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Ephesians 5:13-14.
“But to obtain these gifts, you need more than faith; you must also work hard to be good, and even that is not enough. For then you must learn to know God better and discover what he wants you to do. Next, learn to put aside your own desires so that you will become patient and godly, gladly letting God have his way with you.” 2 Peter 1:5-6.
“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.
Transformation in the spiritual is to put on Christ and put off Carnality.
“But put on The LORD Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.” Romans 13:14
“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.” Galatians 5:16-17
Transformation in a nutshell :
Image to the Express Image (Likeness to exact representation )
Conformed to Transformed :
Before we are transformed we must be conformed to his image.
Form — Conform — Transform
“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27
“So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being” the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.” 1 Corinthians 15:45-46
Predestined to be Conformed to the image of his Son :
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren,” Romans 8:28-29
“As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, “Image is given to us even before we know Him as we Know him better;we conform to his image , conforming allows us to transform to his express image.” 1 Peter 1:14
“that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;” Philippians 2:10
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3:2
Change is an action — Transformation is a Process
Change :
“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed — in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51
“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” 1 Corinthians 13:12
Transform : Physical Body to a Glorious body ! Flesh – Spirit.
“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of The LORD, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of The LORD.” 2 Corinthians 3:18
“Who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.” Philippians 3:21
