You Are Called to be a SaintPrimjer

Saints are conformed to the image of Jesus
“For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son” (Romans 8:29).
Being a saint means being different from non-believers. But it also means to be like Jesus. Today’s verse tells us that God wants the people He foreknew and chose to be His children to be like His Son. Jesus was perfect and sinless. God wants us to be perfect and sinless as well. He was full of love. God wants us to be full of love as well. Jesus obeyed all of God’s commandments. We should do the same.
This does not happen suddenly, and we cannot change ourselves this way. The Holy Spirit transforms us gradually. Theologians call this process ‘sanctification,’ becoming more and more holy. This process starts when you first come to faith, and it is only finished when you die. It takes a lifetime to become holy as God is holy.
The first humans were created in God’s image. This image has been distorted by sin, but the Holy Spirit restores it more and more in us as we grow in faith and holiness. This was God’s purpose from eternity; this is how God predestined us to be.
Do you long to be conformed to the image of Jesus? Do you see the Holy Spirit at work in you?
O planu čitanja

Being a Christian means that you belong to Jesus Christ and are called to live a holy life devoted to His glory; in other words, to be a saint. This has an enormous impact on your life. It changes your position towards God and towards other people, and it has consequences for your choices. Becoming a saint is not optional. It is the calling of every believer.
