2 Korin 5:21

Christ came into the world to change our lives and the course of our destinies. In this devotional, we will talk about the impact of those changes.

Are you looking for more out of life? Wanting more is really a longing to return to God—wherever your relationship with God is now. We all experience mile markers—or awakenings—as we find our way back to God. Journey through each of these awakenings and close the distance between where you are now and where you want to be. We want to find God, he wants even more to be found.

私たちの人生において、神を第一にすることは一度きりの出来事ではありません…それはすべてのキリスト者にとって、生涯を通じてのプロセスです。あなたが新しく信仰を持った人であれ、これまでキリストに従ってきた「ベテラン」信者であれ、この計画は理解し易く、適用し易く、勝利するキリスト者の生活のために大変効果的な戦略であることが分かるでしょう。デビッド・J・スワント氏の「この世から離れて：キリスト者の成長と目的ガイド」から引用しました。

As New York pastor Rich Villodas defines it, a deeply formed life is a life marked by integration, intersection, intertwining, and interweaving, holding together multiple layers of spiritual formation. This kind of life calls us to be people who cultivate lives with God in prayer, move toward reconciliation, work for justice, have healthy inner lives, and see our bodies and sexuality as gifts to steward.
