Be Like Christ

                               BE LIKE CHRIST

We were originally created by God in His own image and likeness but that blueprint was lost when our first parents fell at the Garden of Eden by disobeying the command of God not to eat of the fruits of the Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil. Then the whole seed of humanity came under a curse losing his direct fellowship with God and being born under a state of depravity with his spirit becoming dormant and non effectual. But God so loved mankind that He remedied the situation by sending His only begotten Son to die on the cross and become a propitiation for humanity's sins. Christ death opened the gates of heaven to mankind but only to those who will accept Jesus Christ as Lord and savior and would surrender their lives to Him. "Jesus answered, 'I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14: 6) Being born again, the renewed man is transformed by God from glory to glory until he reach the whole measure of the fullness of Jesus Christ. This is the promise of God. "Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1: 6). We should emulate the examples of Jesus Christ because God intended Him to be the trailblazer for struggling mankind. If we have faith that God requires of us, we can do the same miracles that Jesus did, all for the glory of God. We must be totally selfless as Jesus was and we must love all mankind with the love exhibited by Jesus Christ. Then we will become the light of the world and the salt of the earth reflecting the glorious image of Jesus Christ.
