The vision and solid intention to obey Christ will naturally lead us to seek out and apply the means to that end. Transformation will require a solid effort on our part. When not on the spot, I can retrain my thinking by study and meditation on Christ and the teachings of the gospels. I can consciously practice the disciplines which produce appropriate fruit in my life.
