Thought: The death and resurrection of Christ, once applied to the believer's life through thorough repentance of sin, genuine belief in the person and work of Jesus, and true surrender of one's life to Christ as Lord, not only guarantees the born-again Christ-follower of eternal life, it assures him and her of a new, transformed life by which the very nature and personal temperament of Jesus Himself becomes resident and increasingly active in the believer's own being.

Verse: "We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit" (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Quote: "The redemption means that Jesus Christ is able to put the disposition that ruled his own life into any life. All the standards God sets for us are based on this disposition." -- Oswald Chambers
