| Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study |
"Years ago, a popular television show followed the story of someone who would be transformed from an "ugly duckling" to a remarkably beautiful "swan." Dentists would give the person a perfect smile, and doctors would perform multiple surgeries to provide an extreme makeover.
However, while the outside transformation was amazing, the inside of the "swan" remained the same. The person still struggled with insecurities and fears about what people thought. Thus, a complete change did not take place, and many people were left feeling incomplete.
When we come to Christ, a complete transformation takes place. We look and feel differently, and that comes from the change in our hearts. In the Book of Romans, we read about a transformation that takes place in our minds.

As we live in the world, we see and feel the effects of sin all around us. We need God to continuously renew our minds so we do not return to our former way of living.
Everything about us continues to change as we become more like Christ -- the way we interact with others, how we feel about ourselves, and even our appearance. The change God brings is thorough and affects every part of who we are.
