Changed By Mercy

 

Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters,  in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will.

Philippians 3:13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken  hold of it

 

2 Corinthians 5:2 we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, 3  because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 For while we are in  this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be  swallowed up by life. 5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is  God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
