Summary
The most important goal in the Christian life is not merely reaching heaven, but being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, which is God's predestined destination for us. The speaker warns against getting sidetracked by good but secondary activities, such as evangelism or worship, if they distract from this ultimate goal. All aspects of Christian living—including service and praise—must fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to reveal the complete picture of Christ's likeness in one's character.
