God gives glorious transformation to your spirit, soul and body

“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” (2 Cor. 3:18 NIV)

Transformation is dramatic change

Transformation: a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance; alteration, conversion, metamorphosis, transfiguration, overhaul, remodel, reshape, redo, reconstruction, remake.

He transforms us in three areas: Spirit, soul (mind), and body

“Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.” (1 Thes 1:23 NLT)

Transformed in your spirit – when born again

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” (2 Cor. 5:17 NASB)

Transformed in your soul (mind) – a continuing process

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

Transformed in your body – at His return

“But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed.  For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.” (1 Cor. 15:51-53 NLT)
