The Bullet of Success: Setting the Goal
Without a goal we drift aimlessly and arrive nowhere! The Apostle Paul was clean in his mind about the goal of the Christian life: “This one thing I do, forgetting the past … I press toward the mark of the prize of the upward call of God in Jesus Christ” (Philippians 3:13-14).
In Romans 8:28, Paul defines this goal by saying every Christian has been called to “conform to the image of God’s Son, Jesus Christ.” God intends, says Paul, to so work in us that when He is through, we will look like Jesus!
To affect this transformation means we must take all the teachings of Christ seriously and in detail. No man or woman reaches a goal unless they have a clear cut idea of what that goal is and how they can reach it.
