Transform...
We learned yesterday that "Trans" can mean through. The spear pierced Jesus' side. The spear went through Him. (John 19:34).
"Form" is support. We have seen houses as they are built. First we see the rock foundation on the ground. The wood is next. The wood reaches up to the sky. These are two kinds of support for the house. Think of your mind, heart and soul as the house.
Let God transform your mind, heart and soul. Let God's word go through you and support you as you become new person in Christ. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17) Maybe you have been a Christian for a few days or maybe you have been a Christian a long time. It does not matter how long any of us have been saved. We should continue to change and improve until our last day on Earth. It takes a lifetime to slowly transform our lives. Each day we will become closer to God and live more like Jesus wants us to live.
We saw on 9/11 the two tall buildings of the World Trade Center fell because the support was gone. When we ask Jesus into our hearts, He became the Rock foundation for our lives. Change or transformation has started. The second part of the support is Bible study, prayer, going to church and making friends with other Christians. Jesus will stay with you. His support will always be there. Make sure you stay with Jesus. This way the life you build will make God happy.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern (understand) what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 (English Standard Version).
