(Rom 8:28 NKJV) And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (Rom 8:29 NKJV) 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.

While many Christians have saved verse 28 to memory and it is often quoted, the meat of this verse seems to follow in verse 29. Praise God that He indeed causes all things to work together for our good, but Hallelujah that it is because we are destined to become transformed into His image, becoming just like Him!

Beloved author Francis Frangipane sums this up so very powerfully in his words, "Christlikeness is not only possible, it is our destiny!"

Take hold of this by faith today in your life. Realize that the Creator of all things is working all things this very day for your good; shaping and forming you into the image of His Son.
