For Paul, learning to be a Messiah person—learning to live within the great biblical story now culminating in Jesus and the spirit—was all about having the mind and heart, the imagination and understanding transformed, so that it made sense to live in this already/not-yet world.
This is the first time ive seen "already/not yet" used in this way. Usually ive heard it as an excuse for sin amongst the saints.
this sounds more like we are transformed now, but the recognition of our righteousness/justice to the world is not yet.
