Summary of Readings

§     In this world there is constant change, which results in a need for constant renewal

§     God led Israel through a “change process”, with the incentive of a renewed life in the Promised Land, and now holds out incentives to us if we follow Him

§     People today, like Israel of old, still baulk at going through the change – they want renewal, but don’t want to give up what they have!

§     The transformation starts with a renewing of our minds, and ends with an incorruptible or immortal life at Jesus Christ’s return.
