Romans 8:29 For God knew His people in advance, and He chose them to become like His Son, so that His Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
When you became a Christian, your destiny was to be like Jesus. We’re to grow up in the spirit until you look just like Him.
The instant you were born again, you were made perfect on the inside. It’s up to us how the process comes to the outside. We grow from the inside out.
We start the process by seeking after the things of the Spirit more than the things of the flesh. Be dedicated to the Word and to fellowship with Him.
Have you noticed that if you spend time around people who have strong personalities, you will automatically be affected by them? You'll find yourself doing the things they do. Even their mannerisms will rub off on you. They just influence you, especially if they are people you respect and admire.
The same thing is true in your relationship with God. If you spend enough time with Him, He's going to rub off on you! His ways will become your ways. You’ll want to be like Him because you’re influenced by Him.
So, spend time with Him by praying in the spirit, worshiping and loving Him. Hang around His people who love His Word and live it.
You'll notice yourself changing. You'll find yourself becoming more like Him.
