Be Transformed! Six Ways We Are Changed to Become More Like Christ

4. Be Motivated

Certain changes might be necessary for health or financial reasons, while others might move us toward exciting opportunities. Regardless, change requires breaking old habits. Shedding the old self for a new one isn’t easy, so motivation is vital. Realizing the consequences of maintaining the status quo will energize you.

At the same time, understanding the rewards of psychological and spiritual growth—especially as you reap the fruits of the spirit and honor God—is a supreme motivator. Remind yourself daily of the pros and cons of change to keep your motivation. Satan will tell you that remaining stagnant is better than transforming, but he is lying.
