Transformed

We may look at the professional athlete, performer, billionaire, or other leader and decide that we want to become like them. So we learn, practice, and give it our best efforts. Most of us will fail, at least to some degree, because we don’t not have the same opportunities and innate abilities. Although it is often said, it is not true that you can be whatever you want to be. Real transformation comes from inside, from our hearts.

Hebrews 10:14 says, “For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.” By the one sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, God sees us true believers as perfected in Him. We are now in the process of becoming like Him, that is sanctified. As we exercise faith, He builds us into His image, transformed from our former likeness.
