Hello transformed ones!
When you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, your spirit was immediately born again. Your mind, will, emotions (soul) and body have to be renewed by the Word of God. Romans 12:1-2 (NKJV) says,
BEING TRANSFORMED takes time and effort, but it is all worth it in the end. You cannot put a price on having the peace that passes all understanding or the wisdom to know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it in order to prosper and succeed.
BEING TRANSFORMED comes from the Greek word, "Metamorphosis", which means being changed into something new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 declares that,
What would a person pay to start their lives all over again? To have all their sins forgiven and all their past failures gone? This is what it means in the above Scripture. The moment you are born again, your life is brand new. You have a fresh start. In your life as a believer, this is how it is every day. 1 John 1:9 says,
His Word actually declares that He removes our sins from us as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12).
When you humble yourself to God's teaching and direction, and keep yourself pure, the Scripture declares in 2 Timothy 2:21 (NLT),
I exhort you to let Jesus be your teacher. He wants to teach you in a way that embodies humility and gentleness. If you will listen and obey, you will find rest. Jesus declares in Matthew 11:28-30,
Jesus humbled Himself to the Father and so we should humble ourselves to Him. In Matthew 26:39 we read,
I encourage you to put your eyes on the Word of God, so that you become knowledgeable of the things you need to do (see Proverbs 4:20-24). The Lord Jesus wants you to live free in the truth of God (John 8:32).
