For He knew all about us before we were born and He destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of his Son. This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like him.
Romans 8:29 TPT
Whenever
we see people who are intoxicated or high on drugs, we say they’re “under the
influence.” The influence of what? Someone or something other than themselves.
They
say, “we are what we eat.” Makes sense healthwise, but in reality, we become
what we behold. Whatever—or whomever—we spend the most time with will determine
the outcome.
Since
God predestined us (or predetermined ahead of time) that we should be conformed
to the image and likeness of Jesus, it makes sense that the more time we spend
in His presence, the more we will become like Him.
Who’s
influencing you?
