Day 8 - Being Transformed

Scripture Reading — 2 Corinthians 3:12-18

How many of us actually want to be renewed? Researcher George Barna conducted a survey and discovered that 3 out of 5 Christians are not involved in an effort to grow spiritually.

“Why should I change?” The answer is simple—because God is continually involved in a change project that is centered in you. He wants to take us from “glory to glory.”

We should want to change because the crucified and risen Lord is changing us. It should not be thought of as a harsh duty, a boring obligation, or a heavy burden we must pick up. No, change is a privilege, an opportunity, a joy. We are free to change in ways the world cannot begin to imagine.

The word “transformed” is often used to describe the change of a caterpillar to a butterfly. By the power of His crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus is transforming us into His beautiful likeness.

Lord Jesus, as You change us from within, fill us with a sincere desire to become like You. Amen.
