Transformation in a Christian context can be defined as the renewal of the inner self -soul and spirit -in Christ and being transformed into the image and likeness of God. God is a Spirit and it makes sense that our transformation happens in the spirit and not by the outward appearance only.
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
~JOHN 4:24
Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Transformation happens inwards goin outwards and not the other way round
Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. ~ ROMANS 8:8
You may think you know yourself until the Lord comes and reveals to you your real self, the person He created in His own Image and likeness and He’ll transform you to His image.
You can’t talk about the image of God and leave out His Holiness and purity and the abundance of the various forms of His Glory. God is Holy and as His children he has called as to be Holy.
(2 Cor 6:16-18, Lev 15:31, Lev 20:26, Rom 12:1-2)
Transformation is thus a result of being born of the Spirit of Christ and becoming one with God just like Jesus was in God and God in Him
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
~ Rom 8:9
(JOHN 14:11, 1 JOHN 4:13, JOHN 14:23)
No Human is perfectly perfect but we have the helper, the holy spirit for us who are born again, to lead and teach us the ways of God and transform us into the christlike nature and passion of pleasing God.
JESUS LOVES YOU.
