Rooted in Biblical Wisdom!
Wisdom is a skill in living that begins with fearing God, then progresses to guarding your mind, choosing your companions, controlling your body, monitoring your words, pursuing your work, managing your money, and loving your neighbor. Very simple. But that’s it. And when you’ve done that, you’ve learned wisdom. It’s vital to be taught wisdom. For example, as a father, if I fail to teach my children to fear God, the devil will teach them to hate God. If I fail to teach my children to guard their mind, the devil will teach them to have an open mind. If I fail to teach my children to obey their parents, the devil will teach them to rebel and break his parents’ hearts. If I fail to teach my children to select their companions carefully, the devil will choose them for them. If I fail to teach my children to control their body, the devil will gladly teach them to give it completely over to their lusts. If I fail to teach my children to enjoy speech that is honorable to God, the devil will fill their mouths with filth. If I fail to teach my children to pursue their work, the devil will make them lazy. If I fail to teach them to manage their money, the devil will teach them to waste it on riotous living. If I fail to teach them to love their neighbor, the devil will gladly teach them to love only themselves. And the only reason I can pass any of this wisdom on to my children is because God has graciously made it all available in the Bible.

God's secondary purpose for salvation is to conform us to the image of Christ. It's about making us like Christ. And according to Scripture, every time we gaze at Him, the Holy Spirit shapes us just a little more into His image. And one day, we will be like Jesus. Isn't that amazing? Christians are being prepared for heaven. So the secondary purpose is so that you would be conformed to His Son, but the primary purpose is so that He, His Son, would be the firstborn among many brethren. And you might think, "Well, being the firstborn among many brethren doesn't sound very important." But it is. That means that Christ would be the preeminent one among many brethren. In fact, God's purpose is to conform us to the image of His Son so that we will actually reflect the Son's glory. And in the end, though we are brothers with Christ, Christ will be the preeminent one. That, dear friend, is the goal of salvation. The goal of the mission of God in the world is to create a preeminence for His Son, the Son of His love, the beloved One, in an eternal heaven where He will forever be exalted by those who love Him and adore Him. Listen, the whole purpose of salvation was that the Father loved the Son so perfectly, so infinitely, so gloriously, and so majestically that He had to demonstrate that love. And how was the Father going to demonstrate His love to the Son? He was going to give Him a vast, glorified collection of saints who forever and ever would praise Him and honor Him. That's why He did this. It's secondary that you are conformed to His image. It's primary that because you're now conformed to His image, you can glorify Him forever. The preeminence of Christ is everything. That's why Philippians 2:9-10 says, "He gave Him a name that's above every name; that at the name of Jesus, every knee bows." And why did God do this? Verse 13: "For it was the Father's good pleasure." What did God want? It was His pleasure to honor His Son. It was His pleasure to bring that about by redeeming sinners who would constitute an eternal collection of people who would honor His Son, glorify His Son, serve His Son, and even reflect the very glory of His Son. That was His purpose. His purpose was not to transport people halfway to heaven and have them fall off and go to hell. His purpose was not to save them for a while. His purpose was not to bring the gospel to them, hope they believe, and hope they could hang on. His purpose was to create a redeemed humanity of saints who came to heaven by grace and who would forever and ever praise the One who died to make that possible: the Son of God. God gives us joy, peace, and heaven, but not just for us. We're the secondary purpose. The apex of the divine purpose is so that all of us who are there forever can glorify His Son. Christ is the central focal point in the history of redemption. He is eternally to be glorified and honored. The purpose of salvation then is Christ. It's the Father's love for the Son. I've often put it this way: The Father set out in redemption to find a bride for His Son. That's why heaven is called the bridal city, the New Jerusalem. That's why the church is called the bride of Christ, and He's the bridegroom. The whole of redemptive history is about the Father finding a submissive, loving bride for His Son who will praise and honor Him forever and ever. That's the purpose of God, and that's what He's doing. And if this is God's plan, do you think somebody is going to mess it up? No. So rejoice in your security and in the intercessory work of Christ at the throne of God on your behalf, rejoice in the ongoing intercessory work of the Holy Spirit in your heart, and rejoice in the magnanimous, gracious, wondrous purpose of God, which will come to pass. Therefore, rejoice, because once saved, always saved! Repent and believe! GTY.org (90-426) - Conforming to the Glory of Christ
