Metamorphosis 2008 Notes
This life, therefore, is not righteousness but growth in righteousness,
not health but healing,
not being but becoming,
not rest but exercise.
We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it;
the process is not yet finished but it is going on;
this is not the end but it is the road.
all does not yet gleam in glory but all is being purified.
-Martin Luther
Every day we are changing...He is changing us if we are in relationship with Him. If not, the world and Satan may change us. We never stay the same. We are constantly "striving toward the goal of Heaven" which He has promised.
Philippians 3:13-14
He intends for us to live in this world with nonbelievers and other sinners. He did not intend for us to separate ourselves so we can sit on the side and judge others. We should be living with and communicating His love to adults and kids who do not know Him. That is not to say we are supposed to engage in their behavior so we have to be discerning. This means, when the behavior starts that does not honor God...we walk away...but without judging, belittling, or feeling superior...because it might be us next week. We are to "make disciples of all nations" and we can only do this if we have a relationship with others.
Matthew 28:19
We have to take time to talk with God daily to be in relationship with Him and to know and understand the plan He has for our lives...and so He can help us to understand how to interpret things that are going on around us.
Mark 1:35
