In 2 Cor. 3:16-18 Paul speaks of the process of transformation, how we are being transformed into the same image as Christ from glory to glory. May we be those who continually turn their heart to the Lord so that any veil would be taken away! When we read the Bible, do we see the […]
The Transformation of our Soul is a Lifelong Process, Unlike our Regeneration and Glorification
As believers in Christ, we need to grow in life through the transformation of our soul for the building up of the Body of Christ. Regeneration is only the beginning – we need to continue to grow in the divine life we have received through our new birth, and we do this through the transformation […]
