When you are preparing to have a meal that includes potatoes, one of the first things you do is to peel or remove the skin from the potatoes. Real potatoes that have not been genetically modified need to be peeled. Similarly, when you are preparing for an encounter with God, you must become vulnerable, which requires that you peel off the outer layer of sin and dirt so that you can become one with him. We become one with him not by being forcefully consumed by him, but by independently and deliberately choosing to become like him in every respect. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we choose to become perfect, as he is perfect (Matthew 5:48).
