God knows me so thoroughly that to Him, whether I sense it or not, I am as if totally transparent. God is NOW preparing us for such a revelation, indeed, for such a life in Himself. When He Shall Appear. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: The verse could be paraphrased, "It has never yet been made manifest what we shall be, but we know that when what we are in Christ is manifested, that it will be out of His likeness, and that this will enable us to see Him as He is.
It is an awesome thought. This is the same Truth we saw in I Cor. These are tremendous promises that are spoken of throughout the NT. Thus, it does behoove us to grasp the Truth about how God is now doing this in Christ. First, what God is NOT doing. Believers are never to merely look like Jesus. This is no mere distinction. It is a Truth that is essential to grasp. One problem with the notion that we are to, "look like Jesus," is the means by which we are made to look like Jesus. Some say that this is how God builds Christian character in His people.
We cooperate with God in this process, we are told, by making the right choices of faith, and by obeying the right principles, and over time, we begin to look like Jesus. But most of the time, the people who teach this are unwittingly referring to natural man. We think that God wants to grab hold of our natural man and shape him into the image of Christ.

We would not actually say that, but in the end, this is the meaning of Christian growth, sanctification, or Christian character, under the definition of many. What is missing here? Christ is missing, or, more importantly, the realization of Christ in us. So how does God form Christ in us?

How does Christ, once formed in us, come to be manifested through us? Not by plugging into a religious system that promises to, "build into us Christian character. Who alone is able to look like Christ?
Who alone is to BE our life? Therefore, when the Bible speaks of a saint manifesting Christ, it means exactly that. Paul said it best, "Yet not I, but Christ. Paul gives a clear explanation of how Christ comes to be manifested in a saint: But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. Only then will my life decrease and His resurrection life increase. It will be, "yet not I, but Christ. Is it a matter of me looking more like Jesus? It is a matter of me leaving myself alone to Him at the Cross and dying to my own righteousness and to my own self. Paul said this directly: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are you in Christ Jesus , who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification , and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.
Those who manifest Christ the most in this age are probably those least aware of it. This abandonment of our spiritual lives to God never leads to license. It is actually the only way to freedom from sin. We are abiding in Christ as our life and living from out of Him in faith unto obedience. Now, what does this have to do with the resurrection? What does it have to do with that day when we will be like Him, because we shall see Him, face to face, just as He is? It has everything to do with it. Indeed, it is for that purpose that all that God is doing through Christ points. Again -- "It has never yet been made manifest what we shall be, but we know that when what we are in Christ is manifested, that it will be out of His likeness, and that this will enable us to see Him as He is.
But God is already working to make a home in us for Christ. The groundwork for eternal oneness with God is being laid in this age. Hopefully, we can see that this is not about our glory.

Effectively, as the US Federal Reserve tightens rates, the better returns suck money out of higher-risk markets back to the safe haven of the US. We felt most developing markets were less susceptible to this risk than in the past. Some — like Argentina, Turkey and South Africa — were vulnerable and have been hit hard recently, but overall we thought many other nations should weather the storm relatively well.
