Once I became a new creation in Christ, the process of transformation began to be exhibited.  In the post Tarrying for Transformation, I established that the process of renewing the mind is what transforms outward actions and behaviors over a period of time.

 

Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.   James 1:4

 …until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ…              Ephesians 4:13

 

Having pondered the reason why people who call themselves Christians are not unified under the name of Jesus Christ, I have come to identify 4 common issues that I believe thwart maturity in Christ, the kind of maturity that results in unity of the Faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God.  (Ephesians 4:13) [Read more…]
