WCCC Day 1 Conformed to the image of His Son

Brothere Lance Section I.
Roman 8:28-30; 1 John 3:1-3; 2 Cor 3:16-18
1. It is God's will that we will be like His Son - our Lord Jesus Christ;
2. All God's children should be conformed and changed gradually to be like His son, otherwise he is a dead-christian. All other religious activities can't substitute such inner change.
3. It is destined that we will be conformed into His image, so our Lord Jesus can bring many sons to glory, not babies. It is God's ultimate will, and we need to receive His Word with faith. Without such faith, we will still stay in the same old stage of ourselves.
4. If anyone in Christ, all things has passed and he is a new creation. We should focus on In Christ, not where is this new creation is. If we are in Christ, we are part of this NEW creation - the universal MAN - Christ the Head and we His Body. And, when does our Lord start this new creation? Right after we are saved. From this sinner, the new creation will be formed.
5. Therefore, we should take off old man and put on this new man, how? By knowing the following things:
a. It is God who put us in His Son, not us or our merits. Our responsibility is to believe and acknowledge this truth.
b. Face all trails/realities with obedience and faith. Accept whatever He gave to us, and believe it is for our own good.
c. We need to turn our eyes upon Jesus, so the veil will be lifted off from our heart. Then, we shall see Him. Without seeing Him, we can't be changed.
6. The return of the Lord is near, we shall be ready for Him. Changing to His image is a sign to be ready for Him. We need to believe it - no matter how difficult is or how big the problem is, He will provide us even more grace for us to go through. The end result - we shall be like Him.
