Over the years, I’ve met people who bristle at the idea that being a Christian means they need to change. They think, “I’m already a Christian! How can that preacher imply that I need to change!” Or they say, “That’s works! That’s not grace!” and feel content to stay the same.

I feel sorry for them. Being a Christian doesn’t mean you need to change; it means you’ve already changed. It doesn’t mean you need to change; it means you get to change! You are not stuck. All kinds of new and beautiful possibilities have opened up for you.
