Our life in Jesus is about being changed to reflect Jesus, to grow in love..

Oftentimes, our faith is fed with fast food.

John 17:19 (NRSV) “And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.”

Sanctify: To purify internally by reformation of the soul; to be changed to reflect Jesus, to be more like Jesus.

We are being separated from our sinful selves, purified from moral evil, and conformed into the image of Christ.

Being made holy is a lifelong growth process of a believer

Change is a part of life, and it will either bring us closer to or further from God.

When do we procrastinate the most? CHANGE

New life in Jesus breeds new spiritual habits through which we can see and experience the life-giving process of change as we follow Jesus.
Not many people like change, but change doesn’t care what we feel.

It's wise for us to remember that each moment we live is God-given.

Will the life changes bring me closer to God or take me further away?
