Day 17. By what means will God transform you into the image of Jesus Christ? (2024) Jan 17, 2024

Show notes

Today is day 17 and we are concluding the section on Salvation with question 17.

17. By what means will God transform you into the image of Jesus Christ?

The first Christians “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers” (Acts 2:42). Following this pattern, I will be transformed within the life of the Church through reading Scripture and receiving the sacraments, through worship and prayer, and through fellowship with God’s people and loving witness to the world. (Deuteronomy 6:1–9; 2 Chronicles 7:1–3; Psalm 1; Acts 2:42–47; Hebrews 10:23–25)

Our prayer today is Prayer 71. For Christ to be Formed in Us found on page 668 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
