The Heart of Vision

The Heart of Vision
Ezekiel 36:26
The word “transformation,” according to Merriam-Webster, means “a complete or major change in someone or something’s appearance, form.” But what does transformation mean for us as Christians? Does it mean we clean up our act, change our behavior to be more Christ-like, or live by a new set of rules and regulations? When we look more closely at the verses mentioned above, we find that in the Bible, transformation actually means something different from all of these things. When your received Christ as your Savior, you were regenerated, or reborn, with God’s life to became a Child of God. We were reborn with the divine life of God within. This life transforms us into the image of Christ. Therefore transformation is not a change brought about by simply doing good or improving our behavior. We can’t transform ourselves, but we can “be transformed,” that is, we can cooperate with the Lord for this process of transformation to take place in us … Praise GOD for this spiritual transformation.
