Does belief always come before transformation? I would answer “yes” to this question. Does transformation always follow belief? I would answer “no” to this question. There is something that comes in between belief and transformation that determines whether transformation will happen or not. The answer is simple: action. Without a change in the patterns of our behavior, there is no real transformation that takes place within our hearts. This transformation is what prepares our body to receive eternal life with Christ. And, this transformation is possible within each of us.
