This transformation is both spiritual and moral, aligning the believer more closely with the character and will of God. The idea of becoming is deeply rooted in the narrative of Scripture, where individuals and communities are called to grow into the fullness of their God-given identity and purpose. Transformation and Renewal The Apostle Paul speaks extensively about the process of becoming in his epistles. In <a href="/romans/12-2.htm">Romans 12:2</a>, he exhorts believers: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God." This transformation is not merely external but involves a deep renewal of the mind and spirit, enabling believers to discern and live out God's will. Conformity to Christ Central to the concept of becoming is the idea of being conformed to the image of Christ. In <a href="/2_corinthians/3-18.htm">2 Corinthians 3:18</a>, Paul writes, "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." This passage highlights the progressive nature of becoming, as believers are gradually transformed into the likeness of Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit. Sanctification The process of becoming is closely linked to sanctification, the ongoing work of God in a believer's life to make them holy. In <a href="/1_thessalonians/4-3.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:3</a>, Paul states, "For it is God’s will that you should be sanctified." Sanctification involves a separation from sin and a dedication to God, reflecting a life that increasingly mirrors the holiness of God. Spiritual Maturity Becoming also involves growing into spiritual maturity. The writer of Hebrews encourages believers to move beyond elementary teachings and "go on to maturity" (<a href="/hebrews/6.htm">Hebrews 6:1</a>). This maturity is characterized by a deeper understanding of God's Word, a robust faith, and the ability to discern good from evil. The New Creation In Christ, believers are described as a new creation. Paul declares in <a href="/2_corinthians/5-17.htm">2 Corinthians 5:17</a>, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!" This new identity is foundational to the believer's journey of becoming, as it signifies a radical transformation from the old self to a new life in Christ. The Role of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in the process of becoming. In <a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a>, Paul lists the fruit of the Spirit, which includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These attributes are evidence of the Spirit's work in a believer's life, marking their growth and transformation. Community and Accountability The process of becoming is not meant to be undertaken in isolation. The New Testament emphasizes the importance of community and accountability among believers. In <a href="/ephesians/4-15.htm">Ephesians 4:15-16</a>, Paul writes, "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head. From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." The community of faith provides support, encouragement, and correction, aiding believers in their journey of becoming. Eternal Perspective Finally, the concept of becoming is anchored in an eternal perspective. <a href="/philippians/3-20.htm">Philippians 3:20-21</a> reminds believers that "our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body." This future transformation provides hope and motivation for believers to pursue growth and holiness in their present lives.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
