Translations:DEV 18FN False Teaching/6/en

'Read Romans 8:28-29. Life following Jesus is a journey with an intended end product. Experiences along the way will include joys and challenges, laughter and tears, blessing and suffering but Paul reminds us that our Good Heavenly Father has one overriding good end in mind for us. He is working in and through everything – good and bad things – to make us more and more like Jesus. Knowing this is His end goal for every follower encourages us to be thankful in all circumstances and to cooperate with Him. Walking in trusting dependence on the Holy Spirit we grow both in our character and life priorities to be more and more like Jesus. Jesus is always our example in life and in ministry. Jesus said “A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.” (Luke 6:40)  This truth doesn’t answer the question of “why” things happen but it focusses us on the more important question of “Now what? What is the Father working toward in my life through this circumstance?” It is not “what” happens but rather how we respond to what happens to us that determines the end product in our lives – becoming conformed to Jesus!
