Guy Duininck: Conformed - Transformed
"Be not conformed....but be ye transformed, by the renewing of your mind." - Paul to the Roman believers -
Conformed - to be shaped by pressure from the outside. This is a process of being squeezed and modified and cultured INTO a certain brand of man's thinking, speaking, and acting. Conformation leads to bondage, cloning, and sadness.
Transformed - to undergo a process of changing from the inside out by the power of the Word of God and the Working of God. This is a process of becoming who and what God called and intended you to be. Transformation leads to freedom, uniqueness, and joy.
