And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:2 (ESV)
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. Walking in His love, His nature.
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 and walk in His love. The old sinful nature can only feign love. Real love comes from the Father and works in us and through us as He transforms us.
Transformation is REQUIRED and God does the work in us. We can’t transform ourselves.
Are you abiding? Are you walking in His LOVE? His Holy Word tells us how AND He equips us to do it! 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

SPEAK THE WORD
RENEW YOUR MIND
TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE
In order to be transformed into His image, you must speak the word to renew your mind. When you catch yourself doing or thinking or saying something that is NOT in His Divine Nature, put off the old, put on the new, and speak His Word to renew your mind and be transformed:
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 am renewed in the spirit of my mind, and I put on the new self, created after Your likeness in true righteousness and holiness.
I abide in You, Lord, and You abide in me. I cannot bear fruit by myself and you are the vine; I am the branch. I abide in You and You in me so I will bear much fruit. Apart from You I can do nothing.
Thank You Lord, that the love you put in me will keep growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment so I can be pure and blameless, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Your son Christ Jesus for Your glory and praise.
You cause me to increase and overflow with love for everyone and You make my heart blameless in holiness before Father.
Thank you that You teach me to love and my faith flourishes as my love for others increases.
Where Your spirit is, there is freedom and I see, as in a mirror, the glory of You Lord. I am being transformed into that same image from glory to glory. You give to me freely and Your Spirit lives in me and leads me as Your child.
I thank You Lord that the fruit of Your spirit in me is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control.
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.
