The Christian is being transformed into a new creation that looks more and more like Jesus over time. This comes from outside us, but we must cooperate with it.
Model of Submission
Jesus Christ is the best example of submission and sacrifice. As the spirit of Christ lives through the believer, we find ourselves living our lives for the benefit of others, and putting God first above all other things.
Out of this world
Jesus prays for the sanctification of his disciples so that they will grow as they become transformed into the image of Christ. He prays for His disciples as He sends us into this world to represent His kingdom.
