Episode notes
Conformed to the Image
- In Romans 8:29, being "conformed to the image of God's Son" is often misinterpreted as simply "being like Christ".
- Haley Goranson Jacob challenges this, suggesting a deeper meaning tied to the concept of glory.
Image and Glory
- The phrase "conform to the image" connects to "glorified" in Romans 8:30.
- This implies a shared storyline Paul assumes readers understand, linking the image of the Son to glory.
Human Glory
- In the Old Testament, "glory" for humans signifies honor, status, or power, not glowing radiance.
- Haley Goranson Jacob emphasizes this distinction, citing examples like Joseph and Daniel.
