Transformation
We are new creations in Christ
II Corinthians 5:17
What does this mean?
No more sin?
Changed personality?

3. We are forgiven “If we claim to be without sin we deceive ourselves
and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins
He is faithful and just
and will forgive us our sins
and purify us from all unrighteousness”
I John 1:8-9

4. We are being transformed
“Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.
And we … are being transformed into His likeness with ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”
II Corinthians 3:17,18

5. How does this work? It’s like baking a cake
1. First you must have a recipe in mind
2. Then you need ingredients
3. And a place to bake the cake
4. You mix the ingredients together
5. And place the cake in the oven
6. Heat is applied
7. And at the right time, out comes a cake!

6. What are the ingredients?
The person Psalm 139

7. Our Attitude “…the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure,
then peace-loving,

submissive,
full of mercy and good fruit,
impartial
and sincere.”
James 3:17
