How Much You Are Like Jesus Determines Your Happiness and Glory Forever (JST 91)

Does the degree to which we become like Christ determine our eternal glory? How much of Christ’s character is actually reflected in our lives? What does it mean to be holy as God is holy? What is the difference between knowing about Jesus, and truly knowing Him? What is the difference between a testimony of the Gospel, and a testimony of Jesus? If our spiritual growth mirrors our physical growth, at what stage of our spiritual growth are we? Have we been spiritually born yet? Are we spiritually an embryo, a child, a youth, a mature adult?
