As co laborers with Christ, what is our part to play? There is a difference between forgiveness and transformation. There is a difference between having a salvation experience and truly experiencing change. Most people like the idea of change. The problem is, you have to actually make changes in order to see the manifestation. Change is a great concept. Salvation comes from the Lord, but transformation requires our submission to the process. I may be forgiven and yet remain ignorant of the blessings and promises that God has provided. If I am ignorant of His promises, then I will never access the power of the promises. If there is a huge deposit given to me in my bank account, but I never withdraw the funds, it will be as though the funds were never there. I will live beneath the blessing. It is possible that I do not know that funds are there, or I believe it is too good to be true. I may believe that I am not worthy. My worth has very little to do with Christ’s finished work. It is all about Him being worthy. Since Jesus did His part, I want to know what part I now play. The reason many Christians may be weak in their faith is because they thought salvation was the finish line. Salvation is only the beginning of the journey. It is a new day. As I set my mind on the things of God, the transformation process is manifested in my life. The process produces progress.
