Re-vision 2026: As it is in Heaven WEEK THREE

We become what we behold.In Week 3, we explore spiritual formation—the lifelong work of the Holy Spirit shaping our inward lives until our minds, hearts, desires, and actions come into harmony with the life of Jesus.Paul described his desire for believers as “Christ being formed in you” (Galatians 4:19). But how does that formation actually happen? Through worship—not simply singing songs, but through what we continually exalt, focus on, and give our attention to. Formation is the byproduct of what we exalt.From Israel and the golden calf to Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 3:18, Scripture reveals a powerful truth: we become like who or what we worship. Worshiping idols deforms us; worshiping Jesus transforms us into His likeness.So how do we behold Jesus? We gaze upon Him through Scripture, encounter Him through the sacraments, seek Him privately through prayer, fasting, and worship, and allow ourselves to be formed publicly through life with the body of Christ.You can’t be Christlike if you only look at Christ on Sundays.Spiritual formation is an everyday invitation to fix our eyes on Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to form His life in us.
