-Strength for Today-"You Were Created for Greatness." - Romans 8:30
Wst degree to maintain the hold he has had on us. That’s why God sent His Son, to accomplish the task of “freeing” us from the enemy’s locks. God’s ultimate goal is to transform the old thoughts that defeat us into new thoughts that encourage us. And for that to occur He has to re- pattern our whole way of thinking. And He is engaged in doing that continually because old habits are so hard to break.
Therefore, God offers us nothing short of making us into the image of His Son. Romans 8:30 says, “…Those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified; and those He justified, He also glorified”. So then, as we stand in the awe, we do so looking forward to becoming all that God has created us to be. We know that we have not yet fully realized our potential, but as children of God,
· We’re being transformed into the
· Glory that He has designed for us!
The Hebrew word for glory is "kabod" and it carries the idea of something being weighty and/or worthy. So I say to you, do you want to live a life that’s:
· Worthy,
· Impressive and
· Respected?
Maybe you don’t feel that way now, but Scripture tells us that we can be “transformed” and “changed” into the image that we were created to be. You can become all that you were created to be by calling on the name of Jesus and receiving all that He freely gives for this life and eternal glory.
