Changed. ( Romans 8 v 29 )

If you are a Christian I wonder have you asked yourself , what is Gods ultimate goal or purpose for those who are His?.Well the answer is simple ,we read of it in Romans 8 v 29 ,''For  those God fore- knew ,he also predestined to be conformed to likeness of  his Son''. While here on earth we are being changed by the grace of God,it is a process called sanctification ,it is not instant,but it is ongoing. God uses many means to accomplish this,Job 23 v 10 ',which reads, 'But He knows the way I take; when he has tested me , I will come forth as gold'.When we reach heaven that process will be instantly completed,and we shall be like Christ,conformed to His image.Our minds and characters will reflect Christ,our personality will have no flaws, we will be holy,and wholly committed to our God and Saviour. It is hard to appreciate such a change but it will happen. A  man asked a sculpture  what could he possible see in an  old piece of marble he was working on?, he replied,''I see an angel ''.We sinners may ask the same question,what can God possible see in us,He sees the finished article, He sees us conformed to the image of His Son Jesus.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             We will be like Him.                                                                                                                                        ( 1 John 3 v 2 )
