Take on an entirely new way of life

Take on an entirely new way of life!
I have been teaching in the Bible school this morning about character formation, or on taking on an entirely new way of life - a god-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into our conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in us. Then we experience a close relationship with God, in fact, nothing between us and God, and we will be shining with the brightness of his grace. Day by day we are transfigured much more like Christ, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him. This is the work of the Holy Spirit, who is animating us and motivating us, bringing out his splendor of holiness in our lives!
