Becoming a New Creature in Christ
2 Corinthians: 14 – 17 New International Version
14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
Being Transformed by the Renewing of my Mind
Romans 12: 1 & 2 A Living Sacrifice
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Spiritual Formation is a word often used to describe this process of becoming more like Jesus in our thoughts and actions.
Serving is another important transformation experience. See the Ways to Serve tab on this web site for information about service opportunities.
