Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10)
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; (Ephesians 4:23)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Let's aim for a transformed life

The apostle Paul invites Christians to transform themselves through the renewal of their understanding, as an alternative to conforming to the values of the world. This process of transformation is a gradual and ongoing one, where the person becomes more like Jesus Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit. The word for transformation in the original Greek means a change in form and nature, similar to the process of a worm transforming into a butterfly. Christians are called to aim for a transformed life, where they are unrecognizable from their former self and exemplify the attributes of a being transformed by the Power of God. Read more...

Comments:

Francisco Diaz S.: By accepting Christ it is as if we shed that dirty cover of bad habits, of our sinful habits; we acquire a different way of being and that is to be reborn in Christ to perfect ourselves in mind and spirit.- But as Pastor Dr. Roberto Miranda says, the transformation process is continuous until we reach the glory of God.- Praise be
Dear Francis, thank you for your comment. I share your reflection on how accepting Christ implies getting rid of our bad habits and sinful habits, and adopting a different and renewed way of being in Christ. As Pastor Dr. Roberto Miranda well mentions, this is a continuous process of transformation in our mind and spirit, until we reach the glory of God. It is important to bear in mind that this implies a constant effort on our part, but also the guidance and strength of the Holy Spirit who renews us from within, as the psalmist reminds us when he says "Create in me, O God, a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10). Blessings!
Carlos pagan: It is real that we must have a radical change in Christ, as a Christian for testimony before the world, not for appearances.
Dear Carlos, thank you for sharing your comment. I totally agree with you that as Christians we must have a radical change in Christ, a change that is reflected not only in our appearance but also in our way of being and acting. Our testimony before the world is of the utmost importance and must be genuine, so that others can see in us the transforming work of God in our lives. As the Apostle Paul reminds us, "and may you be renewed in the spirit of your mind" (Ephesians 4:23), we must allow God to renew our minds and hearts to live according to His will and reflect His love and grace. in everything we do. God bless you!
