In the spiritual realm, there is no such thing as mere existence; we're continually being changed, either for good or for bad. We're either becoming more like our Lord or more like the world, -- either growing in Christ or backsliding.
Sa espiritual na kalagayan, walang bagay na para lamang dahil nangyari; tayo ay patuloy na binabago, alinman para mapabuti o mapasama. Tayo ay alinman nagiging lalong katulad ng ating Panginoon o kaya lalong katulad ng mundo,-- alinman lumalago kay Kristo o tumatalikod.
