REFINEMENT—WHEN THEY SEE THE DROSS

I. Envy & Resentment II. Disbelief in God’s Power III. Missed Opportunity

Inside-Out Transformation

Christians are being transformed into Christ’s likeness (2 Cor.

3:18). God is trying to press His people into a Christ-shaped mold.

But this transformation isn’t an easy process, partly because the

world is trying to press us into its own mold. In order to be trans-

formed into the image of Christ, we must resist being conformed to

this world. Paul writes, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be

transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove

what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and per-

fect” (Romans 12:2, NASB).

How is this transformation possible? Where does this transfor-

mation begin? This transformation is possible only if it begins in the

heart. Paul says that we are transformed by the renewal of our minds.

This transformation is an inside-out transformation. Too often we fo-

cus on changing our actions, instead of our attitudes. That’s exactly

what many of the Pharisees did. They were overly concerned with

externals while their hearts were deteriorating. Since they focused

solely on external righteousness to the neglect of their hearts, they

became like cups that are clean on the outside but filthy inside. They

were like pretty caskets full of dead people’s bones. They looked

good on the outside, but their hearts were hollow (Matt. 23:25-28).

When Paul wrote to the Christians in Philippi, he realized that

their problems with regard to unity were merely symptoms of a

deeper problem. Paul addresses the real problem when he offers

the following solution to them: “Let this mind be in you which was

also in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 2:5, NKJV). Transformation begins in the

mind and then extends to our mannerisms. It begins in the heart and

then extends to our habits. It begins in our attitudes and then ex-

tends to our actions.
