trans-for-ma-tion NOUN
A marked change, of something or someone, usually for the better.

Nature provides an amazing example of a transformation. A butterfly’s life begins as an egg that becomes a larva. At its appointed time, a caterpillar breaks out
and then begins to eat, and eat, and eat. Then the caterpillar spins a thread into a shell-like covering around its body. Inside this cocoon, the caterpillar changes into a pupa.
The pupa grows into a beautiful, colorful, and graceful butterfly.

People also go through transformations. From conception until death, we go through a series of changes. Once conceived, the life cycle stages begin and progress to
produce a newborn baby. The baby grows and becomes a toddler, which then matures into an adolescent. Adulthood follows, and the process continues through mid-life
through to old age. This experience is a natural transformation.

There is also a spiritual transformation that we all should go through. This alteration involves changing on the inside and revealing it on the outside.
You go through a conversion from living a worldly lifestyle to living a Christian life that is pleasing to God. You should desire and seek to achieve this spiritual makeover
with all of your might. Many will confess to being a Christian, but are they really like Christ? You can’t just name it and claim it. You have to live it.
To be a Christian means to be Christ-like. You must learn to live like Christ, to love like Christ, forgive like Christ, even bless like Christ, etc.
Some may say that living a Christian life is easier said than done. Why is that so? I think mainly because we have inherently conformed to this world, and this world promotes
pretty much everything except Christian living.

Sadly, the vast majority of those who call themselves Christians in these last days are as far from Christ as they can possibly be. They think they are living for Jesus
with all of their wickedness and false doctrines and evil lifestyles. I believe that people want this transformation but are not too willing to take the necessary steps to make
this process change. This change isn’t always easy, but it is absolutely obtainable. You may ask, What is required to live a Christian life? The answer is in the Holy Bible.

Transformation – Living a Christian Life can be summed up with one Bible verse: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Rom. 12:2). Many have conformed to the ways of the world. They need a renewing of their
mind. They need to get back in alignment with the will of God. This book’s purpose is to reunite you with God, His Word, and His will for your life, which is good and
acceptable and perfect.
