transformed lives

: In celebrating the process of education and learning in the León de Judá Congregation, we must remember that the ultimate goal is lives transformed by the power of God. Knowledge is limited, but it becomes complete in Christ. Learning must be done with humble receptivity, knowing that if the mysteries that God makes known to us come from His heart, that is a great treasure to be shared intentionally and wisely. The foundation of all things must be love, as without love, knowledge and actions are useless. God wants us to know Him as He knows us, and this is based on a love relationship. A well-educated people can filter out sin and prevent stubbornness.
The knowledge we gain from the Word of God functions as a filter to remove sin and stubbornness from our lives. Our relationship with God is based on mutual love, and when God reveals His mysteries to us, it should prompt a greater sense of commitment to Him. This knowledge should not just be for the sake of learning, but for a fuller, richer life that we can share with others. We should seek to constantly grow in our knowledge of God and not become complacent in our faith. We should see opportunities for discipleship as a chance to reach a higher level of preparation and equip ourselves to be useful to those around us. We should remember that God loves us and wants to reveal the secrets of His heart to us, and we should love Him in return to experience the abundance of all He has for us.

As we were getting ready to do these graduation details and the different things that one has to do, I would think: 'Lord, wow! What is the center of all this? What is the ultimate goal of all these things? And of course, it is well in line with what I mentioned a few minutes ago and it is the mere fact that there are lives transformed, lives transformed by the power of God.
Lives transformed by the power of His Word working in our midst and they are lives that are not only transformed by knowledge but behind that knowledge there is -as I would say- a greater essence that injects the life of each one of these people.
