For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. “Romans 8:29‘

This particular verse emphasizes the fact that we can be secure. As Christians, we can be confident that God’s purpose for us has always been to become like Christ. Prior to our birth, God had planned our entry into His family. As God knew about us before we were born and arranged for our salvation, He is no doubt aware of our journeys and sufferings today. He is also aware of what lies ahead. This should provide us with great comfort during our wait for eternal reassurance from our almighty dear Heavenly Father.

You and I were foreknown to God whether we would place our trust in the death, burial, and resurrection of His only begotten Son. He preordained thousands of years ago that our old sin nature would die to self, leading to our new life in Christ Jesus, being transformed into His likeness. In His perfect, glorified manhood, God foreordained and predestined that all who are saved by grace through faith will become just like Christ.

Throughout His whole life, Jesus depended entirely upon the Father, and His entire character reflected the image and likeness of the Father. Similar to Christ, we who were once dead in our trespasses and sins have been predestined to become exactly like Him, in every essential way. Let us praise His glorious fulfilling holy name.

Let us pray:

Dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father, You love me so much that You desire me to conform to the image of Your only begotten son Jesus Christ. You knew me before I was born, and You know my destiny. My heart is open to the work of the Holy Spirit in me. Please search every aspect of my life and remove any traits that are not in line with Your Word. Thank You for the incredible transformation of my my life through the glorification of Christ. I pray this throughout the mighty glorious, fulfilling name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings through Jesus Christ, our almighty wonderful, infinite loving, glorious, Saviour and Redeemer, in who we faithfully abide, trust, believe, and abundantly do receive throughout His marvelous righteous Word and truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.
