The gospel transforms us from who we used to be into who we are now in Christ. We were dead and now have been made alive. And the gospel continues to change us from looking a little like Jesus to thinking, speaking and acting more like Him. We were babies and now are growing into adulthood. As people who are set apart for God, we set out to live in ways that reflect we belong to Him. This will inevitably create conflict as we live for the kingdom of God while also living in this anti-God world. But the same grace that brought us out of the darkness into His light will help us shine His light back into the darkness.
