About This Book

The author argues that the highest moral attainment is transformation into the likeness of Jesus and insists that Paul’s teaching makes that destiny universal for believers. Drawing on biblical episodes such as Moses’ radiant face and the healing of Naaman, the text explains sanctification as a progressive reflection of divine glory received as a free gift rather than earned by merit. It examines the practical consequences for conscience and conduct, distinguishing permissible cultural conformity from actions that imply theological compromise, and offers guidance on humility, dependence on God, and responsible public behavior.
