Our reconciliation with God as well as our elevation in Christ are wonderful blessings that we have received from God. They are gifts of His grace. We can only receive them by faith. But these are not the only gifts of grace that God wants to give to us. There are two more spiritual gifts: transformation through the Holy Spirit and restoration together with the rest of creation. Transformation is particularly important to understand because it is the ongoing aspect of our salvation in Christ. God wants to transform us but only through our cooperation.
