There is another word that’s gotten lost today in the shuffle, and it means just exactly what it says. “Like God.” It means a desire to be like your Father. You’re born again now into the family of God. You want to be like your Father, God-likeness. And that doesn’t mean that you’re like God, but it does mean that that’s the desire and aim of your life.
