Understanding Spiritual Formation

Spiritual formation is the process of moving from a state of sin to becoming more like Jesus, emphasizing key theological concepts such as election, regeneration, and sanctification. The journey involves transformation by the Holy Spirit, who works within individuals to move them away from sin and toward the fullness of life. The series aims to make these often-overlooked concepts practical and meaningful, connecting them to personal stories in light of Jesus' resurrection and the kingdom of God. Drawing from biblical references in Galatians and Romans, the overarching theme is that believers are destined to be conformed to Christ's image.
