| Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. - 2 Corinthians 5:17 |
A butterfly does not start off as a colorful creature, it goes through different stages to become the beautiful flying butterfly. Christians have to go through a change to become new; we can not half change being for Christ at one second and in the world in the next ("So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."- Revelation 3:16). You can either completely change for the Lord or stay with the world guaranteeing yourself a spot in hell.
Just like a caterpillar changes into a completely new creature, so must we change completely inside and out. Of course none of us are perfect, but we must keep asking the Lord to change anything in ourselves that is not of Him. Will you chose to change completely?
