“Do not think that I came to do away with or undo the Law [of Moses] or the [writings of the] Prophets; I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For I assure you and most solemnly say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke [of the pen] will pass from the Law until all things [which it foreshadows] are accomplished. MATTHEW 5:17-18 (AMP)
The FULL Gospel includes us being transformed into the image of Christ Jesus, not JUST a ticket to Heaven (not that that isn’t miraculous!). Jesus died for so much more.
Salvation is the complete redemption and restoration of mankind.
Us being made completely into His image and likeness.
This is how the world sees Christ and His glory is spread across the earth.
NOW, not some future time in Heaven. This requires knowing who you are in Him and renewing your mind so you can be transformed into His image.
Are you abiding? Are you walking in His authority? His Holy Word tells us how. His Holy Spirit enables us to remain there… understanding God’s Word and what He tells us from beginning to end will enable you to mature in your faith. His Word is a tool of transformation and allows us to grow in the knowledge of Christ!
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.” Gen 1:26

Abiding in christ is how this happens John 15
SPEAK THE WORD
RENEW YOUR MIND
TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE
In order to be transformed into His image, you must abide in Christ. In order to abide you must present yourself to God daily, habitually. The best part? God provides all that is needed through His Holy Spirit. You simply need to believe in Him and what He died to give you.
The POWER and PURPOSE of the WORD is to be an instrument of transformation…
TRANSFORMING PRAYER:
I thank You Father that I have been predestined to be transformed into the image of your son, Christ Jesus.
I thank You that I put off my old self, which belonged to my former manner of life.
I thank you, Father, that I am renewed in the spirit of my mind, and I put on the new self, created after Your likeness in true righteousness and holiness.
Thank You that I have Your Holy Word which holds the power to renew my mind, transforming me as I abide fully in Christ, letting go of my past nature.
Thank You, Father, for the spoken Word through your prophets and that I was preached the Gospel so I could be saved.
Thank You, Lord, that You came to fulfill the law on our behalf so we could be redeemed for all eternity. Thank You that I have been given Your righteousness which far surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees because of Your Grace, through faith.
Thank You that I am not deceived because I have Your Holy Spirit within me teaching me Your truths and providing revelation as I grow from glory to glory in the knowledge of You.
I look forward with great eagerness to see the earth filled with the knowledge of Your glory as the waters cover the sea.
I love You Father.”
