We Are Conformed To Be Like Jesus: Justified & Glorified

"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. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them also glorified. What shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:29-31

Once again look at the remarkable power that God is saying to us. God proclaims that He is the One Who conforms us to the image of The King of Kings, Jesus our Lord and Savior. God has called us, He has chosen us, He has justified us, and He has glorified us. So naturally who can be against us? God repeatedly proclaims through His Word that He has done all that is required for us to be one with Him on this earth.

Never struggle at trying to do something on your own to earn it, because the Truth is you’re never alone, through Christ you’re never separated from God. People who try and earn God’s favor and grace are struggling in vain; many unfortunately do struggle though. We don’t have to sit by and watch them, we need to love them, because if they were going to step in front of a bus, wouldn’t we do something? What we need to do is share the Word of God; we need to share these truths and the Truth will set them free. "How then shall they call on Him whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” Romans 10:14 Reading these verses will do so much, I have found that many people have never heard them, it’s a great starting point, and then the Holy Ghost to lead you from there.
