What Is Transformation?

What Is Transformation?

By Lynn & Sarah Leslie
(excerpt)

The Greek word for biblical “transformation” is metamorphoo, from which we get the English word metamorphosis: i.e., a complete change, such as a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Biblical transformation, then, applies to an individual believer’s progress in sanctification.

Released from the Chyrsalis ....................................... “How does one become a butterfly? You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar." 'You mean die?' 'Yes and no! Life is changed, not taken away. Once you are a butterfly, you can really love the kind of love that makes new life. It's better than all the hugging that caterpillars can do.'~ Trina Paulus, Hope for the Flowers ........................................ “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls the butterfly.” ~ Richard Bach ....................................... "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

May you have joy and enjoy in the whole process of transformation: struggling is growing.

No pain; no gain!

^{James 1:2} Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,^[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds,³ because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. ⁴ Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ⁵ If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
