Recognizing that we are created for God's glory is not the end but the beginning of being redeemed. It's the groundwork that prepares us for the deeper work God desires to do in us, transforming us into the likeness of Christ, in whom the fullness of God's glory is revealed.

The journey ahead, then, as we begin to explore the themes of salvation and transformation is about allowing God's glory to be fully manifested in our lives. It's about being transformed by His grace, being saved from the power of sin, and being continually renewed to reflect His image more clearly. Let us hold fast to the knowledge that our ultimate purpose and highest calling is to glorify God — and to enjoy Him forever.
