I don't think we were made human beings in the image of God to live without a fantastically important sure glorious good beautiful destiny. I think we were made to be sustained Moment by Moment by the sure confidence that there's a connection between what I'm doing today and something great that's coming tomorrow. [00:08:52]
Our destiny as Believers before the foundation of the world was that we might become the children of God. Now when God chose you, the number one goal for which he chose you was that you might become the children of God, that you might be part of the family, that you might become a child of God. [00:21:20]
The destiny, the goal of your destiny is that you would be a child of God and thus be holy and blameless. Now let's take this little phrase in love, and if you look at your versions, you're going to see something disturbing. Does the little phrase in love belong at the end of the sentence? [00:27:42]
Your destiny before you were ever created, your destiny was that you would become a child of God and take on a family likeness, and the essence of the family likeness is Holiness and blamelessness, and the Heart of Holiness and blamelessness is love to one another and to God. [00:39:14]
The goal of God's predestination is the glory of God. The goal of election is the glory of God. The goal of your Holiness and your blamelessness and your love among each other is God. Now this is the best of all universes because that sentence does not cancel out verse 5. [00:48:32]
What it means to be holy, what it means to be blameless, what it means to be loving ultimately is that you are a reflection back to God of who God is and he will be all and in all Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15 because there will radiate back and forth among the people of God. [00:57:46]
The first ground for your Holiness and your blamelessness and your love is the death of Jesus on your behalf. Now, finally, is there anything deeper? Can you go deeper than the death of Jesus? Can you get under the death of Jesus and ask is there anything holding that up? [01:17:52]
The point of that little phrase is to tell you this morning and to remind you this morning that if you are a child of God, you owe it to God, you owe it to the will of God. He could have said he predestined us through Jesus Christ unto sunship according to his will. [01:34:04]
The goal of your destiny, the goal of your destiny is the praise of the Glory of God's grace and the ground of your destiny is the good pleasure of The Sovereign will of God and sandwiched in between that ground and that goal are two predestined means to that goal. [01:40:16]
If you are in Christ this morning, your roots go down into the Eternal counsels of God, your branches go up into eternity in the praise of God and in between these two things there need be no sobbing over emptiness and meaninglessness because you're connected. [01:46:09]
Everything you do from the most mundane thing, whether you eat or drink or sharpen pencils, do all to the glory of The God Who destined you for a future that is incomparably and unspeakably great and don't let the devil one minute tell you that it's uncertain or lacking in Foundation. [01:51:36]
Everything works together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose and therefore he predestined us to be conformed to the image of his son that he might be the firstborn among many Brethren and Those whom he predestined he called. [01:57:20]
