So my fifth point is this: spiritual formation is the process whereby the inmost being of the individual takes on the quality or character of Jesus himself. My sixth point is that such a process is not a matter of the human spirit or heart only. We must be careful about how we talk about the person and its several parts. Rather, spiritual formation is a whole life process dealing with change in every essential part of the person. We don’t work on just our spirit, but on everything that makes up our personality.
