may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect
will of God.” (Romans 12:2).
Transformed by Christ and Conformed to
Christ.
This is the small minority of people who have been
changed on the inside by the Gospel and whose
lives have been impacted to such an extent that
they reflect that change in their thoughts and
behaviour. It is so sad that they are a minority
since this is the “good and acceptable and perfect will
of God” (Romans 12:2b). Yes, it is God’s will for each
person, believer and unbeliever alike that we
become like Jesus. But becoming like Him has to
begin with an inward transformation and must
ultimately result in an outward conformation.
When we come to Christ in faith, He powerfully and
miraculously transforms us and changes who we
are at heart.
