Are you being transformed today?

Fundamentally we are created for relationship with God. Through this loving (which includes the Lord's discipline) relationship we come to know God. But He has also created us for relationship with others. Review Matthew 22:37-40. We have the vertical relationship with Him and the horizontal relationship with others. Whenever we have problems in our horizontal relationships we can always be sure that we have a problem in our vertical relationship with Him. For real growth we need revelation that leads to repentance. And God has given us the church (universal) to be the context…..the community in which He intends for us to be transformed.

"By revelation we mean to open the eyes of the believer in such a way that he or she sees God in a new way; more holy, powerful, exalted than previously. But we also see ourselves as we are before such a holy God: less worthy, more deceived, less trustworthy, often more corrupt than we previously realized. Revelation also often gives us greater insight into our fellow man. We see him in a more compassionate light than ever before and worthy of our attention, help, and love." (Excerpt from Transformational Ministry by Dick Scoggins)

We as a community are studying this now. What revelation about God, your relationships with others, or yourself does God want to give you today? Open yourself up to His revelation today!
