The message to all of God’s people is God wants to transform each person into that which He created them for. God created each person with a specific purpose in mind. Each person has great potential to be transformed with God’s grace into that person that God desires for them.
2 Corinthians 3:18 says
.”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.” This verse focuses on the progressive nature of transformation, where believers are gradually changed into the likeness of Christ.
We become new creations in Christ once we become a believer in Him. We can continue a renewal process by renewing our minds by reading God’s word and receiving the sacraments.
