Welcome to the Jesus Image Podcast.

Wonderful Lord, open our eyes to see Jesus.

Fill us with the Holy Spirit again.

And send your power and presence upon us and keep us as the apple of your

eye that we would know you and hide us under the shadow of your wings. In Jesus' precious

name. Amen. Amen. Okay. I'd like you to take your Bibles to Romans

Romans chapter 8, verse 28 through 30,

and I'm going to read that.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are

called according to his purpose, for whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed

to the image of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many

brethren, moreover, whom he predestined, these he also called.

Whom he called, these he also justified. And whom he justified, these he also glorified. Now,

there is way too much here for me to touch on this in one sermon. But I just wanted to again,

solidify and convey what is God's chief objective in our lives.

It is simply put to make us like Jesus.

And this is the work of the Spirit.

This is the Trinity's passion and desire for us. And God literally made his son the firstborn among

many brethren. And all of us are those many brethren. It tells us God wanted a family. And the

leader of that family is the Holy Son, Jesus, who's raised from the dead.

And this family that is a bride needs to look like Jesus.

So that is his primary objective. It is not to give us movements and ministries
