Being Mingled with God to be Transformed into Precious Stones Built up Together
It is only when we All are Transformed and Overlaid with God as Gold that are we one
As believers in Christ, we are in the process of transformation so that our natural being is transformed into the image of Christ, and God’s divine nature is constantly overlaying us until we become just like Christ; we’re being transformed and overlaid with God as gold until we’re fully one!
