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.

Your salvation is eternally secure because that's the way God designed and planned it. Therefore, that's precisely what will happen. And that's why Scripture says, "For those who love Him, everything works together for their good." Why? Because that's consistent with God's purpose. But what is the purpose of God in our salvation? What is it? Well, you say, "To get us into heaven." And, that's a little short of the real purpose but I do believe that many people think that reaching heaven is simply about arriving there, hoping to receive a small harp to play and a little cloud to sit on, where they can enjoy eternal peace in a perfect environment. However, that's a long way from grasping the realities of heaven. That's part of the foolishness that comes out of all these books that are written by people who take trips to heaven. And wherever they're going, it isn't heaven, or they would all agree on what it's like, right? But they don't. Listen, the truth about heaven is in the Word of God. But when you do go to heaven, what is going to be the goal? What is going to be the objective? Why is God working all things to get us into eternal glory? Why is that His purpose? Why have we been called to that end? And why have Christians been foreknown and predestined for heaven? Well, the answer is in the middle of Romans 8 verse 29, but it's the secondary goal and objective: "That we would become conformed to the image of His Son." Isn't that absolutely incredible? But that is the secondary goal of salvation, that we would become conformed to the image of His Son. That's God's purpose. What does that mean, that we would be like Christ? It doesn't mean you will look like Him in terms of facial features. What it does mean is that as much as glorified humanity can be like incarnate deity, we'll be like Him. Philippians 3:20-21 says, "We'll have a body like unto His glorious body." And First John 3:2 says, "We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is." That is the prize of the upward call. Paul says in Philippians 3, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the upper call." What is the prize of the upper call? Christlikeness. Literally, we are intentionally brought into the same form. And again, it doesn't mean that we will all have the exact same physical features as Christ, but it means we will essentially be what He is, and that is perfect, mature, righteous, and holy. We will be a pure humanity. Remember, Christ is the perfect model for us. He is the perfect human. He shows us what perfect purity, perfect holiness, and perfect righteousness look like. He's the standard. He was in the form of God; He then took on the form of man. He came into the world, yes, to validate God's plan by providing a sacrifice for sin. But He also came to demonstrate God's plan. So when you think about heaven, think about Christ, and think about the fact that everything you see to be true about Christ will someday be true about you. That seems like a long shot, doesn't it? But essentially, He shows us what perfect humanity looks like and what an absolutely holy, righteous humanity will be. And the purpose of God was to conform us to that image. It's not about incidental things; it's about being like Christ. Paul tells us that as we gaze at Jesus, the Holy Spirit little by little shapes us into His image. However, Paul also said in Philippians 3, "Not as though I have attained it, but I press toward the mark." But one day, we will be like Christ. And that's God's secondary purpose of salvation.
