We've all seen the TV shows in which somebody buys a house on the market, goes in and extensively remodels it, and then resells it. We like to watch them break down walls, tear out old kitchens and re-purpose living space. We love to see the finished home. When a person becomes a Christian, a similar process takes place. Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus comes to dwell in that person. When He comes to take up residence, He begins the "remodeling" process. The old must go: sinful behavior, bad habits, erroneous thinking, etc. These are replaced with the new: righteous living, truthful thinking, loving deeds, etc. It can be painful, but the outcome is joy and peace - a beautiful life!
