Scripture teaches that true transformation comes not from outward change alone, but from the inward renewal of our minds. As we learn to humble ourselves, devote ourselves to Christ and one another, and fix our eyes on eternal things, we begin the life-long process of being transformed into Christ's image. Though the path may be difficult, the glory that awaits us far outweighs any momentary sufferings as we are transformed from one degree of glory to another by the Spirit of the living God giving God pleasure.
