--The Love of Christ ~~

--The Holy Spirit develops in us the clear image of Christ.

--"[You] have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him. Therefore as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."
--(Colossians 3:1-14)

--WHAT all of us need is an inner transformation. Our deepest flaws cannot be corrected cosmetically. They are directly related to who we are in heart and mind, and they reveal how far we have fallen from the image of God in which we were created. But such transformation is beyond any human ability to accomplish.

Only Christ offers us true transformation--not just a facelift or an outward adjustment. Paul said that those who have been raised to eternal life in Christ "have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him" (Col.3:10).

NEW! What a tremendous word full of hope! Christ transforms us into new people in Him--people with a new heart, not just fixed up to look good on the outside. In Christ we truly desire to 'Bless the Lord On My Soul!'

-"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
--(2 Corinthians 5:17)
