What is God’s goal for every believer?
The goal God sets before every one of His children is conformity to Jesus Christ. The godliness Peter speaks of is the function of spirituality—it is Christ living in and through us. This is the most awesome potential in the universe, and yet we can either be hungry for it or apathetic and indifferent to it.
