Whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Romans 8:29 - NKJV.
Jesus is the pattern to us of perfect sonship to the Father. The Father has predestined us to be conformed to that pattern - to have our lives and our inner natures patterned after the pattern His Son provides. You and I have a destiny to fulfill and God sees multitudes of us making it into that destiny.
You have part with Jesus in His resurrection. Jesus is the firstborn from the dead and you are one of the subsequently born from the dead. You are His brother or His sister by the new birth. How far will you go with this? How willing are you to be conformed to the image of His Son? The world is waiting - groaning - for you and me to enter into our destiny, to come into the full realisation of our adult sonship, to be patterned after the pattern His Son provides!
