Over the past twenty-five years I have asked hundreds of Catholic college students the question: If you should die tonight and God asks you why he should let you into heaven, what would you answer? The vast majority of them simply do not know the right answer to this, the most important of all questions, the very essence of Christianity. They usually do not even mention Jesus! Here's a question for you.
What does GOD want you to be?

Here's a question for you. What does GOD want you to be? "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." (Romans 8:29)
(But practically speaking, currently undergoing much needed processing)

"What does GOD want you to be?"That's easy. 2 Cor. 5:14-21.
In part, "And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED US to HIMSELF BY JESUS CHRIST, and hath COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you BY US; we PRAY YOU IN CHRIST'S STEAD, BE YE RECONCILED TO GOD. For he hath made him to be sin FOR US, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
And what else might God want us to be?
2 Timothy 2:15. "STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED UNTO GOD, a workman that needeth NOT TO BE ASHAMED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH."

“This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Jn 13:35
This is to be the trademark of followers of Christ. He wants us to welcome, support, nurture, and love one another.
