Transformation is one of the most frequently claimed yet most difficult to discern realities in the Christian life. Everyone says they have changed, want to change, or are trying to change. But discerning actual, Spirit-empowered transformation is another matter entirely. The problem is not that people lie, though they sometimes do. The problem is that people often confuse temporary behavioral adjustments with true gospel transformation. They stop doing something for a while, reorganize their habits, or feel a rush of motivation after a scare, and they call it repentance. But biblical repentance that is a Spirit-born, gospel-shaped renovation of the heart change produces long-term fruit that is observable, measurable, and impossible to manufacture by self-will alone. Scripture does not leave us guessing. Paul gives us the clearest framework for discerning whether someone has authentically changed. And to set the stage, we begin with two old friends: Biff and Mable.
