A small example to understand the biblical truth and what better than the sequence of the origin and development of a butterfly.
1) Every butterfly originates from a small egg of the mother butterfly.
2) From this egg originates a larva that is commonly called caterpillar, although inappropriately, it is known as a worm.
3) After a while by the power of God that acts in this animal makes it to be enclosed in a cover that is called cocoon.
4) In the interior of the cocoon by the power of God placed in the nature of this animal operates the transformation, makes it very different from the repulsive caterpillar, which gave rise. This stage in the transformation is called chrysalis.
5) Through a narrow orifice opened in the cocoon by the chrysalis has to force his body to leave. This forced exit of the cocoon, allows the body of the animal in transformation, fruyan toward the wings hormones, and in a few minutes, the wings finish their development unfolding and turning the repulsive destructive caterpillar, in a useful and beautiful butterfly.
Spiritual Application
1) Like butterflies, before we knew Christ and received Him by faith in the heart, we were repulsive and destructive caterpillars.
2) But God has provided a kind of spiritual cocoon, Jesus Christ, so to speak, by pouring us into him, that by the wonderful power of the Holy Spirit we might be in his image.
3) If we are willing, because unlike animals, we have will, because God so arranged, which respects and does not break, then God will finish His work of making us like His beloved Son Jesus Christ. When we have been born again, we begin to notice that change, that is, fruits in our spiritual life. If you are not entirely sure, you should ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and make you a new creature, and then by the fruits you will be sure that you have been born again.
