The Bible is clear in its teaching about the goal of the Christian life—God wants us to be conformed to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). That is the goal—that is the “end” that God wants for each one of His children. So if we are to live our lives with the end in mind, we must always be thinking about what it means to be conformed to Jesus’ image—what will my life look like if I look like Jesus? If we do not start now to think about what that life should look like, we will never be able to do it in the last weeks or months of our lives. We need to begin living with our eternal end in mind.
