Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Romans 8:29, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
As part of God’s plan, we were made with a spirit, a soul, and a body (Gen. 2:7; 1 Thess. 5:23).
In His economy, the arrangement is that we would be born again and He would be dispensed into our spirit to begin the process of conforming us to His image.
In the Bible God’s economy begins with creation and continues through the Old Testament with the called race, and into the New Testament with His Son.
Then His Son is dispensed into our spirit.
Now His arrangement is that our soul, with our mind, emotions, and will, would be conformed to the image of His Son.
This takes place in the realm of the Spirit.
For this conformity, there is the absolute necessity of our being oriented to the Lord by walking according to spirit, by knowing that realm.
For example, in the morning when I am exercising my spirit by saying, “Lord Jesus, I love You,” I am linked to the whole history of God’s economy.
His life is being dispensed into my thoughts at the very beginning of the day.
To conform me to the image of His Son, He is using not only my touch with the Spirit, but also the “all things” mentioned in Romans 8:28.
All things are working together for good.
What is the good?
The good is my being conformed to the image of His Son.
This means I must handle my problems in an altogether new way now.
If I see God’s economy, I am forbidden to murmur, to reason, or to complain about my spouse, my problems, my finances, my situation.
I am forever forbidden if I am a person under the view of God’s economy.
Until Tomorrow,
With A Shepherd’s Love
Pastor
