What God Is Really Looking For
Illustration★★★★MANY OF US are working hard at the Christian life. Many are doing overtime efforts; many are coming to church, reading the Bible, saying their prayers, and trying to do better, but they are failing. All their efforts are not working. They’ve made promises, committed, and then recommitted. These Christians are sincere. They are honest. They are doing their best. The problem is that many Christians are often so focused on themselves that they are missing out on what God is really looking for. God’s goal for us is simple. He wants to conform us to the image of His Son.
The point
Many Christians focus on self-improvement, but God's goal is conforming us to Christ's image through His grace, not our efforts.
