We know we can't be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.

My central claim is that we become like Christ by doing one thing-by following Him in the overall style of life He chose for Himself. If we have faith in Christ, we must believe that He knew how to live. We can, through faith and grace, become like Christ by practicing the types of activities He engaged in, by arranging our whole lives around the activities He Himself practiced in order to remain constantly at home in the fellowship of the Father.

There is knowledge of God and the spiritual nature of man, as well as other types of reality..., that are not reducible to the world dealt with by the so-called "natural" sciences. The idea that knowledge - and, of course, reality - is limited to that world is the single most destructive idea on the stage of life today.

What we can accomplish as good as it may be does not compare to what God can accomplish

The assumption of Jesus' program for his people on earth was that they would live their lives as his students and co-laborers.

A disciple is a person who has decided that the most important thing in their life is to learn how to do what Jesus said to do.
