Resistance is futile, change is inevitable.

As much as we do not like change, it is a natural part of life. Nothing truly stays the same. In Paul’s final words to the small network of churches, he challenges them to ask the question: Is the change they want to experience simply a conforming to religious practices and traditions or is it a supernatural transforming experience because of the cross of Christ? The gospel is more than an episode of ‘Spiritual Rehab Addict’, it manifests change through the transforming presence of a new creation, resulting in peace and grace.
