Followers of Christ are being sanctified, preserved, and completed.
John Piper - The fact that God is at work in his people, changing the thought patterns and preferences of our sinful nature, so that we love what He loves - there's no greater promise than this.
You cannot do this yourself ... But now, O Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our Potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. (Isaiah 64:8)
Intimacy with our Lord and Savior allows the transformation ... And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at his coming. (1 John 2:28)
Let Paul's beautiful benediction echo in the background of your walk of faith ... Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5:23)
Be 'moldable' till He comes, pilgrim.
