In this article, Timothy Lane and Paul Tripp set forth a model based on the metaphors in Jeremiah 17 for understanding how people change. They maintain that this change requires a life-long commitment to following Christ and growing in His image. They conclude that God changes us through our toughest challenges when we are open to His leading.
