Partakers of the Heavenly Calling...

Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, 12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.—2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

As believers, we are partakes of the heavenly calling of God in Christ Jesus.  As such, we press on toward the goal of our calling...Christlikeness.  I am thankful that it is God that does this work in me.  I am thankful that it is Him who works in me both to will and to do for His good pleasure...He is faithful and will complete the good work He began in me at salvation. I am not perfect yet but by God’s gracious kindness to me in His Son, I am moving in that direction.  Someday I WILL awake in His likeness.  Beloved...stay the course.   Finish well.  

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.—Romans 8:29

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.—1 John 3:2

As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;

I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.—Psalm 17:5
