What kind of change should happen to every believer?
Every believer should experience a conversion like Jacob’s: changed from being a deceiver and supplanter into a prince with God. This transformation signifies the spiritual change from the old nature to a new standing before God. Such a change marks true conversion for every believer.
Les explains that Jacob’s name meant the deceiver and supplanter, while Israel meant a prince with God. In Jacob’s future conversion, he would be changed from a deceiver and supplanter to a prince with God. Les then asks if that is not exactly what should happen to every one of us, indicating that every believer should undergo a similar transformation.
