That I May Be Made Conformable to His Death

Chapter 7 · Paul's Sevenfold Vision · John Wright Follette · Bibliothēkē

He says, we are “made conformable to His death.” That is the process of God: “conformable to His death.” The conforming is the process of God. We can’t conform ourselves. Now the sooner we learn that, the better off we are. The minute people get a vi­ sion or an idea of something that is to be attained or obtained or made in God, they always start in with the energy of their good intentions and their good endeavors, which won’t work. You can’t get it that way. He died! So do we! And to be conformed to that we must go through the processes that He will bring into our lives. Now the next thing is kind of an awkward phrase and if I give it, I’ll start something as sure as I am sitting on this davenport. “Go ahead.” “Well, thanks, that’s delicious.” Now I am going to start something! How many think you can take it and not lose your religion? Paul says:
