A transforming effect

Back to Next Part Man's religion & God's religion 2


A view of Christ's glory, and a foretaste of the bliss and blessedness it communicates, has a transforming effect upon the soul. 

We are naturally proud, covetous, worldly—grievously entangled in various lusts and passions—prone to evil—averse to good—easily elated by prosperity—soon dejected by adversity—peevish under trials—rebellious under heavy strokes—un-thankful for daily mercies of food and clothing—and in other ways ever manifesting our vile nature.  

To be brought from under the power of these abounding evils, and be made fit for heaven, we need to be transformed by the renewing of our mind, and conformed to the image of Christ.
