The Leading Attributes of God Part 42-The Bounties and Delightfulness of God3

Here we look at the manifold blessings that God has
given to those who are His. We are to know these, since His Spirit through
His Word has revealed them to us.
His desire is that we be totally taken with Him in all our being, and this is what our blessed place
will be throughout eternity.
Perhaps His greatest gift to us is that He has promised to make us like, or conform us to the image of His Son.
We will not share in His divinity, but we will share in and be blessed forever by being made like Him.
This being conformed is to begin here. If it is the best forever, it certainly is fitting that it begin while we are here and
continue as long as we are here and under the Lord's child training.
Because we now have been bought with a price, the precious blood of Christ, He owns us - we are His. We are no longer enslaved
to our old nature, or Satan or the world system and now are under His sovereign hand, and we are to set our minds not on
the old way of doing things but on what His will and desire for us as we live out our days down here.
