This past Sunday we looked at the 3rd
purpose of our life from Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life – You were Created to Become Like Christ. God’s
plan has always been to make you like Jesus Christ. Once you are in
God’s family He wants you to take on the family likeness. He wants you
to become like His Son – like Father, like son. You’ll never be a god. But God does want you to become godly.
The process of becoming like Christ is called discipleship. It's a life long process in the life of a believer. And it's an important process. This life is just a preparation for the next life, in heaven, with God. God's purpose is to prepare us for that life. He does that by slowly changing us to become more and more like Jesus. We even talk about some of the ways God builds us and grows us into the image of Christ.
