“For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son,” Rom. 8:29. This promise is barely imaginable! God actually predestined us to be like Jesus. Before we were born God actually decided that no matter what happened to us He would eventually transform us so we would have the same qualities as His Son. We will have all the fruits of the Spirit. We will not have a “flesh” to contend with. We will have joy and friendship in complete abundance. We will have perfect communion with God. Our responsibility is just to keep trusting and moving forward. As we fully embrace and absorb this reality we will be able to set our hearts on heavenly values instead of worldly ones.
Application: pick some words from the verse that help you and repeat it to yourself throughout the day or week.
