The ultimate goal, according to the speaker, is to make believers like Jesus Christ. This requires valuing heavenly riches over earthly ones and maintaining a heart free from guilt and condemnation, recognizing the power of Christ over the devil.

Understanding God's PurposeGod has a specific goal and purpose for every Christian life, which believers need to understand.Ephesians 4:30
The Physical Focus of the Old TestamentUnder the Old Covenant, God's promises and requirements were entirely earthly, including land, material blessings, physical sacrifices, and a physical tabernacle.
Testing Yourself by the Value of Sin Over SicknessMany believers still view physical sickness as worse than small sins, which reveals they have not fully entered the New Covenant where sin is the primary concern.
Valuing Heavenly RichesFollowing the ascension of Jesus and the giving of the Holy Spirit, God has blessed believers with spiritual riches in heavenly places, which those in the New Covenant value above earthly wealth.Ephesians 1:3
God's Goal Is to Make Us Like JesusGod chose believers before creation with the primary goal of making them like Jesus Christ, which is why He may occasionally permit sickness or trials to protect them from pride.Romans 8:29
Kicking the Ball in the Same DirectionA New Covenant Christian shares God's singular goal, aligning every aspect of life and effort toward the objective of Christlikeness.
Living Free from Guilt and Bad MoodsStarting from a place of complete forgiveness, believers are empowered by Christ's resurrection life to live free from perpetual gloom, discouragement, and bad moods.
God's Control Over Our CircumstancesJust like a pressure regulator on a machine, God carefully controls our wealth, temptations, and life pressures so they never exceed what is safe for our spiritual growth.
The Empowering Purpose of the Holy SpiritBecause this transformation is not automatic, God provides the Holy Spirit to help us obey and to show us the glory of Jesus so we can become like Him.2 Corinthians 3:18
