The Goal

"So if you have been raised with the Messiah, seek what is above, where the Messiah is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on what is above, not on what is on the earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with the Messiah in God. When the Messiah, who is your life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory"- (HCSB).

Our goal is to be like Jesus. We are, even now, being transformed into the image of Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18). This goal doesn't happen by accident. We have to take off the old worldly self and put on the new heavenly self (Colossians 3:9-10); get rid of your old ways and take on the nature of Christ. A life centered on becoming Christ-like is a lifelong pursuit. Now more than ever we need to set our minds on what is above; spread the message of salvation through Jesus Christ to all Christ brings our way; anyone who is willing to allow you to share the reason for your joy. Let God change you for His purpose, and your glory will become His glory.
