“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

With Your Host Victor Vigorito

Victor began “In His Image” with the vision that substantial Christlikeness is attainable in this life. The Scriptures are clear: “His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.” (2 Pet 1:3) That many in the church do not experience notable progress in sanctification suggests that many believers are failing to appropriate what God has provided for them. What unlocks the divine power? “True knowledge.” Victor’s goal for “In His Image” is the unpacking of “True Knowledge,” where believers understand what precisely is available to them and the means of appropriating Christlikeness.

“Purpose-Derived Peace”

May 29, 2025

This episode on holistic salvation addresses the reason why many believers don’t experience consistent peace. Isaiah declares that God “will keep in perfect peace all whose minds are set on Him.” (Isaiah 26:3) The NT equivalent is Romans 8:6, “the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.” Holistic salvation doesn’t just refer to deliverance from the penalty and power of sin–it is related to finding our purpose in God. When believers set their minds on God, they discover and regard His works and naturally want to co-labor with Him in His work. This then is the recipe for perfect peace that holistic salvation intends. Many unfortunately conclude that a lack of peace is primarily associated with sin issues, when in fact this myopic, even self-centered view of salvation doesn’t grasp the principal objective, which according to Hebrews 9:14, is to serve God. When Christians identify their purpose after gazing on God and His works, they can potentially experience the perfect peace promised by Scripture. The latter part of this episode addresses obstacles to peace, coming from John 14:27. Christ offered “non-contingent” peace that couldn’t be taken away if believers set their minds completely on God, for “the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.”

The Dynamics of “Peace” among the Righteous and the Wicked

This episode begins with the question, “why do believers often struggle to have peace, while unbelievers, when circumstances are favorable, seem to be at peace? The answer rests on the nature of both. Believers delight with the law of God in the inner man, while they struggle against residual evil. They are conflicted until they substantially set their minds on the things of the Spirit, leading to life and peace. Unbelievers, by contrast, are dead spiritually, so there is little opposition to their minds set on the flesh, temporarily

Peace Doesn’t Just Happen

This episode unpacks the salvation package of “life and peace.” Paul states that the mind set on the Spirit is “life and peace.” (Romans 8:6) Most Christians embrace some aspect of the eternal life promised in salvation but struggle to experience the peace promised to believers. This episode paints a HOLISTIC salvation picture and the necessity of intentionally directing our minds on the Spirit. The elusive nature of peace among Christians highlights the incomplete appropriation of the salvation package and the lack of intentionality of many believers who experience

“The Sound of ‘One Hand Clapping’ Doesn’t Sound like Salvation”

This episode begins with the provocative question: “can you put on the breastplate of righteousness and ignore the helmet of salvation?” The answer provided by Paul is a resounding NO. The breastplate of righteousness corresponds with the imputed righteousness of Christ, based on the double-transfer of 2 Cor. 5:21. The helmet of salvation implies the transformation of mind that progressively thinks more and more like Christ. The breastplate of righteousness principally addresses the PENALTY of sin, while the helmet of salvation points to the POWER of sin being broken,
