So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Genesis 1:27)
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, (Galatians 4:19)

True success - being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ

The Bible teaches that true success and greatness come from within, through spiritual values such as love, holiness, and justice. As Christians, we must undertake a lifelong process of transformation, submitting our flaws and defects to Christ and allowing him to shape us into his image. True success and greatness come from developing a balanced and harmonious personality that reflects the original creature that God created in us before the fall of man. This is the foundation of true personal greatness. Read more...

Comments:

Francisco Diaz S.: Our Lord Jesus Christ, by accepting us, cleanses us of our faults, washes our soul with the water of baptism, exalts our spirit with his grace and holiness and makes us different people because Christ loves us.
What a beautiful reflection, Francisco. As Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional mentions, when we come to Christ, we must submit all our defects and bonds to His transforming work so that we can be conformed to the perfect image of Christ. This reminds us that, when we accept Jesus Christ, we begin a process of sanctification to reflect the harmony and balance of His personality. As Galatians 4:19 says, it is a process in which Christ is being formed in us. What a blessing to be able to experience the transformation that He produces in our lives!
Enrique Meneses Muñoz : Thank you my LORD because I can imitate your image. I love you GOD.
What a beautiful testimony, Enrique. It is inspiring to see your desire to imitate the image of God and express your love for Him. As Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional mentions, our goal as children of God is to undertake a life program that seeks the total reconstruction of our personality so that we can increasingly reflect Jesus Christ. Let us remember the words of Genesis 1:27, where we are told that we were created in the image of God. May your love for God continue to strengthen you on this path of being conformed to the image of Christ. God bless you!
Ruth Vives.: The Christian must lead his life based on the commandments of the Holy Scriptures (Bible) according to what God preaches. Do not look and desire success based on the demands of the world. Rather, according to the spiritual principles and values that identify God. God bless you. Amen.
Thank you for sharing your reflection, Ruth. It is essential to remember what you mention about the importance of directing our lives according to the spiritual principles and values that the Word of God teaches us, instead of seeking success according to the standards of the world. As Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional reminds us, we must focus on values such as love, holiness, and justice, seeking to be conformed to the image of Christ at all times. May this search for conformity to the will of God be the foundation of our walk as Christians. God bless you abundantly! Amen.

What a beautiful reflection, Ruth. As you mention, it is vital that as Christians we base our lives on the commandments of the Holy Scriptures and on the spiritual principles and values that God teaches us, instead of seeking success according to the standards of the world.

Javier narvaez de leon : Love your neighbor and keep his rights
Javier, thank you for your comment about loving our neighbor and keeping His commandments. It is essential to remember that love for our neighbor is an essential part of reflecting the image of Christ in our lives. As Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional mentions, we must submit our entire personality to the transforming work of Christ to reflect His love and kindness in our actions. Let us remember that loving our neighbor is a commandment that Jesus left us in John 13:34, and keeping His commandments is a sign of our love for Him (John 14:15). May love for our neighbor and the fulfillment of God's commandments be pillars in our Christian walk. God bless you!
Javier narvaez de leon : Keep his commandments
It is important, Javier, that we remember the importance of keeping God's commandments in our daily lives. By following God's commandments, we demonstrate our love and obedience to Him. As Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional mentions, the process of sanctification involves adopting a plan of radical perfection that leads us to be more like Jesus Christ. Staying faithful to the divine commandments is a fundamental part of this process of conforming to the image of Christ. Let us remember the words of Jesus in John 14:21, where He tells us: "He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." May keeping God's commandments be a continuous expression of our love for Him. May the Lord continue to guide you on His path!
Betty Casanova: Thank you Fathers, your ways have taught me to respect and keep the tree of good and evil at a distance, just like your commandments and your Holy Spirit in me reminds me when I am wrong and helps me to turn back, teach me Father that my face be the mirror of your beloved son when I am bringing your word to my disciples and to those who do not know you.
What a beautiful expression, Betty. It is wonderful to see how you recognize God’s guidance in your life and how you long to reflect the image of Christ in every aspect of your being. As you share, staying in the ways of God, respecting and obeying His commandments, helps us to move away from evil and closer to His holiness. It is in this process of conforming to the image of Christ where we find true transformation, as Dr. Roberto Miranda teaches us in his devotional. May the Holy Spirit continue to remind you and guide you on the path of holiness, so that your life may be a faithful reflection of Jesus to those around you, both your disciples and those who do not yet know the Lord. May God continue to strengthen your faith and your testimony. Blessings on your spiritual journey, Betty!

May the Lord continue to guide and strengthen the Tribe of Judah in their walk of faith, and may they reflect the light and love of Christ in everything they do.
