1-Believers are to become Christlike.....Php 2 vs 5 Has this to say. "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus"
God's ultimate goal for us is to make us like Christ. As we become more and more like him, we discover our true selfs, the person we were created to be. But how can we be conformed to Christ's likeness?.......By reading the word, by studying his life on earth through the Gospels, by being filled with his Spirit, and doing his work in the world.
2-The Holy Spirit makes believers Christlike.....2 cor 3 vs 18 And we, who with unveild faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into the likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
We can divide people into two categories-those who let themselves be controlled by their sinful natures. And those who follow after the Holy Spirit.We need to center our lives on God daily,so we can become more Christlike, with the help of his Spirit.
3-Christlikeness is the aim of disicipleship.....Matt 10 vs 24 A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master
To walk today as Christ did we must obey his teachings and follow his example of obedience to God and loving service to people. True Christian faith results in loving behaviour.
