What About the Change?

Rom. 12:2 Do not conform any longer 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.

2Cor. 3:18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.


A true Christian is marked by a change for the better, in their life. A countenance that is changing to be more and more like Jesus. An attitude that is changing to be more and more like Jesus. A heart for people that is changing to be more and more like Jesus.

But change isn’t natural.

Change comes when you and I put in the time to be near Jesus. When we spend time reading His

word and conversing with Him through prayer. But also, when we practice the presence of Jesus in our lives.

That is, when we get to the point where we realize Jesus is always with us, and we make decisions based on His desire for our life, and not ours. When we treat people the way we would if Jesus were standing right next to us while we interacted with them.

Phil. 2:5-8 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death — even death on a cross!

So what about you? And what about the change?
