But in order for that potentiality to become reality in our daily life demands that we follow the spiritual life mandates as given in the Scripture. Potential >>>>Change>>>>Reality The most important mandate: Ephesians 4:1 how? That you be renewed (made new again) in the spirit of your mind Ephesians 4:23 Be transformed by the renewing of your mind Romans 12:2 Know this: Minute by minute there is real choice Romans 6:13 THERE ARE: TWO CHOICES (TWO PRESENTS) TWO EXPERIENCES IN THIS LIFE TWO OUTCOMES IN ETERNITY KEY: There is no middle ground Romans 6:13,16; 1 John 1:6; Matthew 6:24; Romans 13:14 WILL IT WORK? Faith: accepting the testimony of God as true (1 John 5:9-12). We begin the Christian life by faith so we must continue by faith!

Run in such a way that you may win [or, obtain it]. And everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control [or, agonizes. NIV goes into strict training] in all things.
