For those whom He (God) foreknew—of whom He was aware and loved beforehand—He also destined from the beginning (foreordaining them) to be molded into the image of His Son (and share inwardly His likeness), that He might become the first born among many brethren."
(Rom. 8:29 AMP)

It's no secret: The end of this age is very near. You can sense it in your heart. Time is running out, and God is fulfilling His plan in us. He is preparing us to be the people He has called us to be—making us ready for eternity with Him!

God is getting Christians together who will fulfill the destiny prepared for them since the beginning of time. That destiny is spelled out clearly in Romans 8:29. Our destiny as Christians is to grow up in Jesus. It's to be fully molded into His image, which was put within us the moment we made Him our Lord.

It's staggering to think that you and I could ever truly be changed into His image. It seems almost impossible that we could be like Jesus, yet God says we can be. In fact, the Bible says He has equipped us with everything we need to continue growing and developing and becoming more like Him (Ephesians 4:13).

Not only is God able to do that, but He wants to. It's His plan, and it's up to us whether or not it'll happen in our lives. If we want to be a part of God's plan, we must do our part of God's plan. Our part is simply this: to walk pleasing before Him—to think His thoughts, to speak His Words. In other words, to walk in His ways.

When we do that, we're fulfilling His desire, and then He can show up in our lives just as He did in Jesus' life.

If we truly want to fulfill our divine destiny and see the power of God in our lives, we must determine to start living every moment of every day to please our Father.

We must walk out the prayer that Paul prayed for the Colossians:
Asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding...in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might.
(Col. 1:9-11)
Make your decision today...and fulfill our destiny!
