What is the ultimate aim of God's plan for believers in terms of character and relationship with Him?

• A. To be adopted as sons through Christ
• B. To gain eternal wealth
• C. To be holy and blameless in love
• D. To be celebrated in political power

Answer: (C)

Becoming holy and blameless in love is the ultimate aim of God’s plan for believers in terms of character and relationship with Him. God does adopt us as His children through Christ and redeem us, but the ongoing goal we pursue is sanctification: growing in holiness and living in love that mirrors Christ’s own love. Scripture describes believers being created in righteousness and true holiness, urged to imitate God and walk in love, and Christ’s work to present the church as holy and blameless in love. So the emphasis is on becoming more like Christ in character—holy and loving—rather than wealth or political power; adoption is part of the process, but the end result is a holy, loving relationship with God.
