Keith Craft: Information + Maturation = Transformation.
Information + Maturation = Transformation.
The thought behind the quote
The Greek word used here for "glorious" is "doxa," which refers to the splendor, majesty, and absolute perfection of God. The word carries with it the idea of God’s true nature—His “radiant magnificence and honor.” When we talk about being transformed into His glorious image, it means that we are meant to mirror live a life characterized by “radiant magnificence.” Think about that, God has created you to be radiantly magnificent!
However, just because you have gone through a plethora of life experiences does not qualify you to be experienced. Information alone does not lead to transformation—maturation does. Life experiences, learning opportunities, and challenges are all forms of information that God uses to shape us. However, without our decision to mature through these experiences, the information will remain just that—data you’ve collected in your brain.
