the imitation of Christ

Read John 10:27-30 & Ephesians 5:1-2

My central claim is that we can become like Christ by doing one thing — by following Him in the overall style of life that He chose for Himself. If we have faith in Christ, we must believe that He knew how to live. We can, through faith and grace, become like Christ by practicing the types of activities He engaged in, by arranging our whole lives around the activities He Himself practiced to remain constantly at home in the fellowship of His Father.
