While the process of discipleship is duplication, the goal of discipleship is spiritual transformation. Spiritual transformation takes place little by little, over time, and must include the company of others.
- The Fullness of Spiritual Transformation is Best Observed when Life Touches Life.
- If you are going to make a spiritual difference in someone's life you have to get close to that person.
- Noticeable transformation seldom happens outside of the context of relationships.
- Our spiritual transformation is not exclusively for our own benefit, but so we can be agents of grace to one another.
- The Most Remarkable Spiritual Transformation is Observed in Those who Spend Time in God’s Presence.
- In order to experience transformation, you have to position yourself for transformation.
- The purpose of “mountain climbing” is not to earn my transformation, but to tune in to God’s frequency of change.
- All true spiritual transformation is for the glory of God, for the abundance of our own lives, and for the sake of others or it is not true spiritual transformation.
- God has a way of changing you, making you the Christian he wants you to be, which is the goal of discipleship
- The Work of Transformation
- Transformation is not the accumulation of information.
- Transformation is not behavior modification.
- Outside change is merely external conformity that is absent of any real transformation.
- Spiritual Transformation is about forming believers into the image of Jesus.
- The DNA of Christ that dwells inside of you is transforming you, causing your life to be changed into the image of His very likeness.
