The spiritual understanding of two foundational truths that will change your life are: First, the spiritual understanding of what it means to be "in Christ" (1 Corinthians 1:30) and secondly, "Christ in us" (Colossians 1:27). Paul was literally in travail over Christ being formed in the Galatians (Galatians 4:19). The Greek word for formed "EXPRESSES THE NECESSITY OF A CHANGE IN CHARACTER AND CONDUCT TO CORRESPOND WITH THE INWARD SPIRITUAL CONDITION," Vine's Expository Dictionary. No matter the damage, no matter the pain and hurt that someone has caused us or that we have caused others can prevent us from being conformed into His glorious image, 1 Cor. 15:9-10. If you are struggling to live the Christian life or have given up, this book is for you. The truths found in this book will literally transform your life through the Word, and will lead you to the Rock that is Higher than you!
