The Image of God’s Son
by Charles R. Swindoll

But we all . . . are being transformed 
into the same image from glory to glory,
just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18

Maybe you've never before stopped to consider that God is committed to one major objective in the lives of all His people: to conform us to "the image of His Son." 

We need to blow the dust off that timeless goal now that our cage is overcrowded and our lives are growing increasingly more distant from each other.

Exactly what does our heavenly Father want to develop within us? What is that "image of His Son"? 

I believe the simple answer is found in Christ's own words. Listen as He declares His primary reason for coming: For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many (Mark 10:45).

No mumbo jumbo. Just a straight-from-the-shoulder admission. 

He came to serve and to give. It makes sense, then, to say that God desires the same for us.
