The Bible teaches that believers are predestined and progressively transformed to mirror Christ's image through renewed minds and obedient, holy living.
Conformity to Christ means being transformed into His image through faith and obedience. God predestined believers to reflect Christ's character, requiring a renewed mind that rejects worldly values and embraces holy living. This ongoing transformation happens as we behold Christ's glory, set our minds on heavenly things, and walk as He walked, supported by the church community.
