"'Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.' That’s the goal of this verse: not ferreting out the secret will of God that he plans to do, but discerning the revealed will of God that we ought to do."
Transformed.
Not improved,
But changed.

The closest one has ever gotten to God was Abraham, who stood in presence of God but had to be blindfolded for his eyes could not withstand His glory. Just by being in His presence, Abraham was physically radiant. Other could not even step into the mountain of God's presence because of their sin, but by miracle and fear did Abraham approach God.
Abraham climbed up the mountain to see God, Jesus stepped down from the mountain to see us. Jesus reached out and touched the sick, the hurt, the sinners. He let the people touch him, and the glory of God was still radiating, for even touching the corner of his cloak brought healing.
What a God, what a savior.
