Transformação
A transformação é o fruto natural de uma vida entregue a Deus. Ele não nos deixa como nos encontra — renova nossa mente, purifica nosso caráter e nos conforma à imagem de Cristo.
O chamado ao arrependimento
A transformação começa com o arrependimento genuíno. Deus convida cada pessoa a voltar-se para Ele de todo o coração e receber vida nova.
From then on Yeshua [God is Salvation] began to preach and to say: "Turn you in repentance for the Kingdom of heaven is here".
Then Kefa [pebble] said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] for the forgiveness (pardon) of sins, and you2f shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh].
Repent you2f therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord - Kurios;
And rend (tear apart; forcefully rip apart) your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil.
Renovação da mente
Paulo nos exorta a não nos conformar com o mundo, mas a sermos transformados pela renovação do entendimento. A mudança vem de dentro para fora.
And be not conformed to this world: but be you2f transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you2f may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God-The Father.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord - Kurios, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit [Ruach] of the Lord - Kurios.
Mortify (put to death; remove the life of) therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate (unrestrained; immoderate) affection, evil concupiscence (strong lust; passion), and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Os frutos da transformação
Uma vida transformada produz o fruto do Espírito: amor, alegria, paz, paciência, benignidade, bondade, fidelidade, mansidão e domínio próprio.
But the fruit of the Spirit [Ruach] is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, self-control: against such there is no law.
Now I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) you, brethren, by the name of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], that you2f all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] you2f be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
And the Lord - Kurios direct your hearts into the love of God-The Father, and into the patient waiting for Moshiach [Messiah].
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Moshiach [Messiah] died for the ungodly.
But whosoever drink of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
