What is transformational in your life?

In his book, Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis discusses the transformation of man into what he calls, The New Man.

Lewis suggests that if we had viewed the dinosaurs when they inhabited the Earth, we might have thought that transformation or evolution would consist of those creatures developing bigger brains or becoming larger. In reality, we know the dinosaurs became extinct, and humans began to transform.

Man evolved from being a creature of God to becoming a Son of God through communion with the Creator. 

This transformation to being Sons of God did not come from "Natural Selection." It was not a natural process, but one that came into Nature from outside.  

Lewis cites five unique steps for the transformation of the New Man.

1. It was not carried out by sexual reproduction. Sex stopped being the primary way humans evolved.

2. At the beginning of life, creatures had no choice about transforming. Evolution was something that happened to them, not something they had any control over. But the new steps from being creatures to being Sons became a voluntary response by man. We have a choice to be part of the new humanity or dismiss it and stay where we are.

3. When Jesus rose from the dead on that first Easter morning, he became the model for the New Man. He became a human of his own accord and desire. Jesus is the origin, center, and life of the New Man. Everyone who is transformed into a new man does so because of their connection and relationship with Christ.     

4. Compared to the evolution of man, the diffusion of Christianity has been like the blink of an eye. We are still part of the development of the New Man. We are just cutting our teeth as believers in Christ, while the rest of the world thinks we are a deteriorating movement. Many people have replaced faith in God with a greater understanding of the physical sciences. 

5. The old transformational steps had man evolving, but still dying. With the resurrection of Jesus, man has been taken from Nature and offered eternal life, a chance to be a 'god.' It is the opportunity to experience a rebirth into eternity with the Creator of the universe.

This New Man, according to Lewis, is an individual who is stronger, quieter, humbler, happier, and more joyful. They are this way because they choose to put their faith in One who offers them a transformation into something bigger, better, more beautiful. Something eternal.

The question is, will you choose (because you have free will - you must decide) to take the necessary steps to transform into the New Man through a belief in Jesus, or will you remain in a restricted life with limiting beliefs and a decided end?   

The choice is yours.
