Conformed to His Image

Conformed to His image.
“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:29

Our opening scripture shows us that we have been conformed to the image of Jesus who is the firstborn among many brethren. This reveals that Jesus is our Elder Brother.

If Jesus is my Elder Brother, it means that the same potential He has, I have also. That is why the Bible says we have been conformed to His image, in other words, we have being fashioned to be like Him because our nature is the same with Him because we have received His nature by reason of the new birth.

It was this understanding that gave me an edge when I was in school. If Jesus should write an exam will He fail? If He would not fail, then I should not fail because I have being conformed to His image. As a result of this understanding, during my university days, I never had an F, I never had an E and I never had a D even when I did not have continuous assessment. The least I had was a C; that means when they marked my scripts in courses where I had no continuous assessment I scored up to 50 and above.

This can also be your experience because you have being conformed into the image of the Son of God.

1 Corinthians 2:16 is your rhema for today: “…But we have the mind of Christ.” You have the mind of Christ, so go and excel in all that you do. God bless you.

Confession.
