Are you still a mere human -or- has God “transformered” you?
…as in “made you a brand new creature“?
The Master Transformer is Jesus the Messiah. Read about it in the Bible. The Bible teaches that Jesus actually did it: Jesus transformed into the Godman – fully human, fully God.
Amazing transformation!
Jesus can transform you into a brand new creature!
Our transformation begins at salvation. Faith in Jesus is all about “tranformering” (so to speak):
- He changes us at salvation – transforming us.
- We are being continually transformed – growing in our natural new life in Christ.
- All life-long we are resisting the world – as we conform our thinking to Christ Romans 12:2
- This transformation is “an outward, permanent change”, according to Romans 12:2.
* “Be transformed“. BibleGateway Footnote [a]: From the Greek word meaning “metamorphosis.” Refers to the process that leads to an outward, permanent change.

So: What happens at the exact moment of salvation in Christ?
“There is a certain moment in time when everything changes, when a mere human is transformed by God into a completely different type of human. It is that life changing moment when a sinner accepts God’s free gift of forgiveness, bowing before God in repentance, acknowledging Christ as Lord of all.
That moment changes everything for that person. Nothing is the same anymore. A new creature has been born – really and truly “born again” into new life in Christ. This magic moment!”

Excerpt from: Salvation and Receiving the Gift of the Holy Spirit
We are made brand new! And salvation starts with the Holy Spirit coming inside us – to permanently reside in the born again. He makes your spirit alive.

Excerpt from an as-yet unpublished post:
When He makes your spirit alive, God the Holy Spirit permanently indwells you. And we begin to realize some 301 things are happening – because you are then immediately “in Christ“. We begin a change to being like Jesus.

If we want our way of thinking to be permeated by God’s way of thinking, then it behooves us to read the Bible and know it well. Then our ways will be His Ways – His ways of thinking will be our ways of thinking.

Transform into another form of human. Make it happen! Be a transformer by God.
Isaiah 25: verse 1
O Lord, You are my God;
I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name;
For You have worked wonders,
Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.

The Bible teaches that Jesus actually did it, becoming the Godman, He changes us at salvation – transforming us, and we are being continually transformed – growing in our natural new life in Christ.

The Rich Mindset of God – 2 Timothy 3:14-17 Excerpt: Christians follow the God of the Bible. So it behooves us to continually mine the depths, take out nuggets deep in this mine, and make them ours. Our mindset changes as we read the Bible and adopt its truths.
If we want our way of thinking to be permeated by God’s way of thinking, then it behooves us to read the Bible and know it well. Then our ways will be His Ways – His ways of thinking will be our ways of thinking.

“Be transformed”
Romans 12:2
2 And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be [a]transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].
Pure Gospel – nothing added, nothing taken out Excerpt:
God is very specific “this is how God loved the world” – John 3:16 ESV
God loves us so much – He died for us. The Bible explains all about our sin which separates us from His Holiness. It explains clearly our need for God’s saving grace Galatians 1:6-9.
And, most importantly: It is very explicit with the specificities of what Jesus requires for entry into His Holy Kingdom. It is so very clear to see.
Specific salvation parameters to get saved
