We are being transformed!
Transformation is a wonderful thing under one condition: You can trust the person trying to transform you. For instance, when one spouse wants to "transform" (change) another spouse they can both enter into rough waters. Both have to agree to it and they have to have extreme faith in the ability of one to transform the other. When an employer wants to transform his/her staff, there can be a push-pull relationship develop as resistance to change. When a government wants to transform its populist by laws and required programs, because the government thinks transformation is necessary for long term positive results, there can be tremendous upheaval. However, in the Christians life, transformation is perfect and worthy. The reason for this is because we can trust the Person who is doing the transforming. God is the perfect sculptor. We have no reason to fear when He takes something off or puts something in. Through the ministry of the Spirit He is transforming us from one degree of glory to the next (3:17-18). God has the perfect pattern (Himself) and has changed the "clay" so that He can transform us. Our resistance to transformation is only because or old nature wants to be the same. The only reason for the pain of God's transformation is that flesh resistance. Through faith we accept Christ's work in our lives through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. That changes us. That is a great transformation.
