Constantly improving
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2
The follower of Jesus should be constantly improving in manners, in habits, in spirit, in labour. This is done by keeping the eye, not on mere outward, superficial attainments, but on Jesus. A transformation takes place in mind, in spirit, in character. The Christian is educated in the school of Christ to cherish the graces of his spirit in all meekness and lowliness. He is fitting for the society of heavenly angels. {Christian Education 200.2}
