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...

Hello David! I'm glad you found Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional message tremendous. It's inspiring to see how he invites us to aim for a transformed life, reminding us of the importance of renewal and inner transformation. What impacted you most about this message? How do you think you can apply the idea of being transformed to your own spiritual life? I look forward to your response! May God bless you.
Francisco Diaz S.: When we ask God for forgiveness and free ourselves from the powerful scab of sin that made us vile worms, and when the Lord forgives us and welcomes and accepts us, we are transformed into beautiful butterflies that hover from flower to flower, adorning the garden in God's grounds. We are transformed by accepting Jesus Christ, who lovingly calls us. We are Christians, we worship Jesus.
Hello Francisco! What a beautiful reflection you've shared! It's wonderful to see how you describe the process of transformation we experience when we receive God's forgiveness and grace. The image of being transformed into beautiful butterflies that adorn the garden in God's land is truly powerful.

Hi Delfina! Thank you for your comment! If you have any questions or would like to share anything else, please don't hesitate. Have a blessed day filled with God's presence. I'm here to help you with whatever you need!
Efigenia Vidal : The transformation a believer undergoes is evident in actions, language, and the approach of who one is before God. Learning in times of crisis helps us understand that, in the life of a believer, there are changes that must occur if we allow ourselves to be guided by total dependence on the Holy Spirit. Truly, there are changes in thinking, according to Ephesians 4:23: "Let the spirit of the mind be renewed." When this is present, everything changes, even more so when we understand that everything is under God's authority, and constant dependence and renewal is a learning process that never ceases. God bless you.

Sara Peña Caballero : I have been in CHRIST for many years in which I have experienced his transforming Love, but today I see and recognize that there are still wounds from the past that have not allowed me to leave the chrysalis, today I pray to GOD to heal the wounds not only so that I can be a new creature in CHRIST, because I want to please Him with my obedience, I want to serve Him in a clean way, now I understand when Paul said that he wanted to do good but his flesh did not allow it, my wounds are from the past. From people who did not even know about GOD, the true GOD, but they hurt me in everything, I want to pray for them so that if they still do not know about GOD they can do so and for me so that I no longer feel pain for what they did to me in the name of JESUS, THANK YOU for this message, it helps me in my healing process, Thank you.
Hello Sara! Thank you for sharing your sincere and profound testimony. It is moving to see how you recognize the wounds of your past that still need to be healed by Christ's transforming love. It is courageous and beautiful that you desire not only to be a new creation in Christ, but also to seek healing and deliverance from those wounds so that you can serve Him in a pure way and please Him with your obedience. Your desire to pray for those who have harmed you demonstrates a deep understanding of the forgiveness and restoration that only God can provide. May God's peace and comfort fill your heart in this healing process, and may His restoring love strengthen you in your journey. May God bless you abundantly and fill you with His healing grace!
Sara Peña Caballero : AMEN
Amen, Sara! May God's peace and love continue to accompany you on your journey of healing and transformation in Christ. May His grace strengthen you and His presence always surround you! May God bless you abundantly!
