10 Scriptural Reasons You Can Change - 10

Reason why God says you can CHANGE #10:

"The Glory of God"

God is passionate that His glory be known. God's glory is the majestic shining forth of His greatness. His person is infinite in perfection and His works are perfect in their purpose and results. God has sovereignly chosen that all His plans and works will accomplish the ultimate shining forth of His greatness throughout eternity.

God chose us to be holy and blameless before Him and to be adopted as His children through Christ "to the praise of His glorious grace" Ephesians 1:6.

Our sanctification or progressive CHANGE into the likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ is ultimately for the purpose of displaying God's GLORY. Our CHANGE shows how GREAT God's GRACE is. Our CHANGE shows how great God's PATIENCE is. Our CHANGE shows how great God's SOVEREIGNTY is. Our CHANGE shows how great God's CHARACTER is. God WILL have His greatness known and a great part of that display is OUR CHANGE into the likeness of His Son.

THEREFORE, we can take heart and hope and gain confidence that we both CAN and WILL CHANGE to be like Jesus, regardless of our past, present, or future, because that change is ultimately for the display of God's GLORY.

May we all continue to CHANGE daily for the Glory of our Great God.
