God’s Work in Us (4)

For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren.
– Romans 8:29

God arranges all the environments around us to conform us to the image of His Son, so that we might be led into glory (8:28–30). Romans 9–11 should give us an appreciation and assurance regarding God’s sovereignty. Romans 12–16 then describes a healthy local church life in which we can experience the renewing of our minds, transformation, and healthy spiritual growth.
