Change is an inevitable part of life, constantly shaping and influencing us. It is a process that can lead to either positive or negative outcomes. That said, people change either for the good or for the bad. When aiming for positive change, it is crucial to embrace the gospel message of God as a starting point. This foundational belief provides the basis for seeking transformation and renewal. As individuals undergo this transformative journey, the evidence of change becomes apparent through the way they increasingly reflect the likeness and glory of Christ in their thoughts, actions, and character.
Ultimately, a journey with God involves transformation—it requires change. This spiritual journey requires us to fully immerse ourselves in God’s presence and accept Him as our almighty Lord. Moreover, it involves striving to renew our minds to who we are in God.
It’s important to recognize that the power to undergo true transformation originates from Him alone. This transformative process involves growing in Christlikeness, a journey that is sustained through the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit.

Journey With God: An Opportunity to Change
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
– 2 Peter 3:9
God desires for humanity to be free from the clutches of darkness and the dangers of succumbing to evil, which ultimately leads to destruction. His loving and patient nature allows individuals an extended period to turn to repentance and find salvation. This patience grants us the opportunity to embrace a life centered on God, characterized by purpose and fulfillment.
Transformation Through Renewal of Mind
As human beings, we continually encounter various earthly desires and temptations that serve as barriers to our personal growth and development. However, it is important to understand that it is within God’s divine will for us to actively resist the pressures of conforming to the patterns of this world and, instead, aim to undergo a positive transformation by renewing our minds.
In pursuance of this purpose, we must wholeheartedly let go of any hindrances obstructing our complete surrender to God. We must recognize that the purpose of Christian transformation extends beyond ourselves; it is intended to bring glory to God, enrich the abundance of our lives, and serve the needs of others in our communities. Embracing change with unwavering faith is the fundamental calling from God and signifies our relentless commitment to living a life aligned with His will.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
– 2 Corinthians 5:17
Often in life, we encounter moments of discouragement that lead us to resist or overlook the potential for change. The process of changing for the better can appear hazy or unattainable, especially when we feel burdened by past mistakes and the misconception that it’s too late to make a positive change.
However, it’s vital to remember that seeking forgiveness and turning to God for guidance can occur at any point in our lives. Embracing this new path enables us to undergo a personal and spiritual renewal. When we choose to commit our lives to Jesus Christ, a remarkable change takes place. Those who are ‘in Christ’ experience an utter change from their previous fallen state to being aligned with the righteousness of God.
It is time for us to take a step forward and undertake a journey of change and transformation for the overall good. Through God, we will navigate our way despite the uncertainties of life.
