How to Be Transformed

Be transformed in Christ. God transforms our mind, will and emotions. He transforms us from within. Before we were transformed in Christ, we were conformed to this present evil world. Transformation is a change in our hearts through the Holy Spirit. We become a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God" (Romans 12:2).

Be transformed through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). The word of the gospel is the instrument for this transformation. The Holy Spirit is the agent who transforms us (1 Thessalonians 1:5). Knowing Jesus as our Lord is the result (Romans 10:9; 1 Corinthians 12:3).

Be transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit (John 3:8). The Holy Spirit works through the gospel of Christ (1 Thessalonians 1:5). No one could ever be transformed without the Spirit of God working in us. This transformation is by the Spirit of God changing our hearts.

Be transformed in Christ to understand the things of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14). We are enabled to see and believe the truth of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit transforms us in mind, will and emotions. New birth transforms us in Christ, by the grace of God to the glory of God.
