- The process of spiritual formation involves being conformed to the image of Christ. Such transformation involves both divine initiative and human response.
- Learning about Jesus and His ways should be accompanied by practical application of the spiritual disciplines. We must be open to the Spirit’s work in us as we learn and grow.
- Transformation often happens in community where mutual support, accountability, and encouragement are present.
Key Scriptures: Luke 6:39-40 (the goal of becoming like the teacher); Romans 12:12 (transformation by renewing the mind); Galatians 5:13-26 (life in the Spirit).
