Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned (Romans 5:12). After 'FORMATION' man sinned and was deformed, thus losing the nature of God's purpose for us on earth. By this 'DEFORMATION', through sin, we lost Eden, the ideal state, purpose, and environment of God for man. However, "For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous" (Romans 5:19). Therefore, Christ came to reform us by dying, and we accept the process of 'REFORMATION' by believing in him. But the journey of remaining in Christ and our journey as Christians is that of a 'TRANSFORMATION' of our lives—the true purpose of our relationship with God. And the destination of this transformation is "conformation', where we are now in the image of Christ. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8:29).
