Organic Transformation
ORGANIC TRANSFORMATION
This is not a mere outward change. The con cept of outward change is ethical and religious. The divine concept is not to correct us outwardly; it is to transform us inwardly and organically with Christ Himself as the holy essence. This process of spiritual metabolism involves permeation and saturation. Whether we realize it or not, a met abolic process is taking place within our being. For example, after we eat a meal, our stomach begins to work on the food organically to digest it so that it can then be assimilated. This takes place whether we sense it or not and whether we agree with it or not. In the same principle, we are all undergoing the process of God's sanctifica tion, whether we are conscious of it or not. The longer we stay in the church life and the more we stand one with the church, the more we are sanc tified. Eventually, through this sanctifying proc ess, we shall all be in the New Jerusalem.
There is no need to pray desperately that the Lord will transform you. Such a desperate prayer may help your spiritual digestion, but it does not actually affect the process of saturation. Simply stay in the church life, and eventually you will be transformed into precious stone.
