When you work for a big company, there is often a chance that you will be transferred to one of their other locations. It’s usually a compliment, because they need your skills at the other facility.
There is a transfer that occurs just because we are loved!
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13 - 14 (NASB)
There is another meaning for the word transfer. The online dictionary, Wiktionary, says it is also “a design conveyed by contact from one surface to another.”
I was in the office supply section of a store the other day and a package labeled “T-Shirt Transfers” caught my attention. I bought it, took it home, printed a design onto the special paper, placed it on a new t-shirt and applied heat with an iron. The result was that the design was transferred onto the t-shirt.
When God transfers us into His kingdom, He also transfers His image onto and into us through His Holy Spirit. Wow, that’s way better than a t-shirt! Thank you, Lord.
