What happened to you the very moment you were saved? What changed in you? How did you become a “new creation”? If Paul is writing to “brethren”, fellow Christians, then why does he exhort them to be “transformed”? What in a Christian requires “transformation”? What changes in you are needed?

2. 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by
the mercies of God, that you present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your
reasonable service. 2 And do not be
conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your
mind, that you may prove what is that
good and acceptable and perfect will of
God.

3. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation; old things have passed away;
behold, all things have become new.

4. If “all things have become new”
Then…
why must I “be transformed”?

5. Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with
Christ; it is no longer I who
live, but Christ lives in me;
and the life which I now
live in the flesh I live by
faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave
Himself for me.

6. Philippians 2:12–13
12 …work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling; 13 for it
is God who works in you both to
will and to do for His good
pleasure.
“Grace is but Glory begun, and Glory is but
Grace perfected.”
— Jonathan Edwards

12. “The Christian is in a different position from other
people who are trying to be good. They hope, by
being good, to please God if there is one; or — if
they think there is not — at least they hope to
deserve approval from good men. But the
Christian thinks any good he does comes from the
Christ-life inside him. He does not think God will
love us because we are good, but that God will
make us good because He loves us; just as the roof
of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it
is bright, but becomes bright because the sun
shines on it.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
