Formation
Being Formed Into His Likeness
We pursue the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in order to be formed into the image of Jesus (2 Cor. 3:18). We do this by abiding in Him daily (John 15) and through a variety of ongoing formation opportunities.
And we all, with unveiled face... are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18
Abide in me as I abide in you... If you abide in me, you will bear much fruit... This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. John 15:4-5
