Exploring the Process of Spiritual Formation and Personal Change

The process of personal change and spiritual formation is about transitioning from who we are to who we are becoming in Christ. This journey of growth and maturity, aimed at attaining the full measure of Christ, is known as spiritual formation. It is a lifelong process, not a one-time event, where individuals are gradually transformed to become more like Jesus. This transformation, also described as metamorpho in Greek, is akin to the process of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. Spiritual formation involves being increasingly imbued with the character traits of Jesus through discipleship, eventually leading to the formation of Christ within oneself. The concept will be the focus of discussion over the next two weeks, delving into its intricacies and significance.
