A life TRANSFORMED


 Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.


What to expect once GOD makes you born again?

Prepare to be transformed.

You lose all complexity.

You repent of your sins.

You want to get right with GOD.

Naturally, your lifestyle will get simple.

It will become basic, and yet fun, and fulfilling.

You will not be caught up with the Joneses.

You will not want the things of the world.

Your focus will be on JESUS alone.

You will want to know how to really love.

You will not be caught in the trappings of the world.

The things of the world will not hold any appeal for you.

You will see the world for what it really is.

JESUS spoke of it:

Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.


Apostle John spoke of it:

1 John 2:16

King James Version

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, 

but is of the world.


1 John 5:19

King James Version

19 And we know that we are of God, 

and the whole world lieth in wickedness.


Why, then, would you have any part of that?

A believer knows better.

We are guided by the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.

We are taught the ways of JESUS.

The LORD showed us how to live.

Matthew 4:4

King James Version

4 But he answered and said, 

It is written, 

Man shall not live by bread alone, 

but by every word that proceedeth 

out of the mouth of God.


Life will become fun.

Life will become meaningful.

Life will become worthwhile.

All because you have CHRIST in your heart.

He will show you how to worship GOD.

He will show you how to love.

He will show you what real life is.

This life we have on earth is nothing compared to what JESUS promised those who believe in Him.

He promised us eternal life.

Only by being born again can you see all that.

You will not want to return to your old life, for sure.

2 Corinthians 5:17

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; 

behold, 

all things are become new.


All I write on this blog, I've experienced for myself.

Everything must be authentic.

That's what I searched for all my life.

And now, I have it, and know it.

All because GOD made me born again.

What a difference that sure made!
