Christ-likeness (Isaiah 28-29 / Philippians 3)

In Isaiah 28-29, God brings about two judgments. The first judgment is pointed toward the Northern Kingdom of Israel (ch. 28) while the second judgment is pointed toward Judah (ch. 29). Only Judah, however, would be delivered due to God's promises made beforehand to King David. God's people were doing great in terms of religious duty (29:13). However, God was not concerned with their outward form of religion. His main concern has always been the heart of His people. How is your relationship with God? Notice the question is not if you walked an aisle, gave your tithes and offerings, or if you sing in the choir? What has God been teaching you from His Word and how have you begun to obey Him hese matters?

Even the apostle Paul admitted that he was not perfect (Philippians 3:12). Paul knew this journey in life was not about a destination, but a transformation (Philippians 3:21). What specific ways are you becoming more like Christ?
