A God-Fashioned Life Many religions and New Age philosophies promote the old lie that we are divine or can become gods. Let me be absolutely clear: you will never become God, or even a god. This desire to be a god shows up every time we try to control our circumstances, our future, and people around us. But as creatures, we will never be the Creator. God doesnt want you to become a god; he wants you to become godly, taking on his values, attitudes, and character. We are meant to take on an entirely new way of life - a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you. (Ephesians 4:22-24 MSG) Every time you forget that character is one of Gods purposes for your life, you will become frustrated by your circumstances. Youll wonder, Why is this happening to me? Never forget that life is not about you! You exist for Gods purposes, not vice versa. God gives us our time on earth to build and strengthen our character for heaven.
