Transformed

In the very beginning of Jesus’ three-year ministry, he met Andrew and Peter and he said to them, “I will make you fishers of men”. And by following him they would be transformed into his likeness.

He told them, their hearts would blend into his heart longing for all people to hear and believe in the Gospel message.

He warns us as he warned the twelve that following him would have its many challenges and difficulties. Life was not going to be easy. And then, even with all those trials and tests with even your life on the line, do not fear.

 And you and I say, how can we not fear? We say that and feel that way because we see through human eyes, feel through a human heart.

But when we surrender ourselves to God by reflecting on his Words, we realize, we have nothing to fear if we are in God’s graces regardless as to what happens to our physical bodies.  It’s the soul we must protect. It is the soul that has eternal life. It is the soul we must defend from the evil one, the devil.

The body dies on this earth and the soul lives on and what state our soul is in when the body dies is where that soul will spend eternity. If we remain faithful to Jesus then Jesus will acknowledge us to His Father when out time comes.

That is why it is so important too never take a chance with your that has severe consequences, like eternal death. Keep God’s presence always within you and you too will be transformed into his likeness.
