"To educate the old Adam is to make him doubly dangerous. To polish him is to render him far more deceptive. To make him more religious is to leave him tenfold more the child of hell." ~Vance Havner
“'The first man, Adam, became a living person.' But the last Adam—that is, Christ—is a life-giving Spirit ... Earthly people are like the earthly man, and heavenly people are like the heavenly man. Just as we are now like the earthly man, we will someday be like the heavenly man." 1 Corinthians 15:45-49 NLT
Believers are in process of becoming like Christ, moving from earthly to heavenly.
2. We don't need polishing - we need refining (1 Peter 1:3-9).
3. We don't need religion - we need relationship (John 17:3).
Let's do something today to move faster toward that goal.
