| 0:00.0 | We all are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory. |
| 0:06.1 | 2 Corinthians chapter 3, verse 18. |
| 0:11.8 | Welcome to this daily encouragement from our daily bread. |
| 0:15.8 | Be like Jesus, was written and read by Elisa Morgan. |
| 0:21.6 | 1 John, chapter 3, verses 1 through 3. |
| 0:26.6 | See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God. |
| 0:32.9 | And that's what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear |
| 0:39.5 | friends, now we are children of God and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we |

| 1:48.0 | Alisa. Don't judge. I wondered, was my presence emanating anything of Jesus? Becoming like Jesus |
| 1:56.7 | is a transformational process, a metamorphosis of God growing his character in us as we yield |
| 2:04.1 | to his ways. Paul wrote that believers in Jesus are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing |
| 2:11.9 | glory, which comes from the Lord. John marvels at how hard this is for us to understand, much less achieve. |
| 2:20.4 | Now, we are the children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known, |
| 2:25.5 | but we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him in purity, for we shall see him as he is. |
| 2:32.7 | As the escalator spilled us out, I glanced back again at the book, Be Like Jesus. |
