“BELOVED, ABIDE IN YESHUA TO WALK AS HE WALKED!”

Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:

“But if someone keeps doing what he says, then truly love for God has been brought to its goal in him. This is how we are sure that we are united with him. A person who claims to be continuing in union with him ought to conduct his life the way he did.” (1 John 2:5-6)

But he who keeps and treasures God’s Word and who bears in mind His precepts and who observes His message in its entirety, truly in him has the love of God which has been perfected, completed and reached maturity. By this, we may perceive, know, recognize, and be sure that we are in Him.

Whoever says he abides in the Lord Jesus Christ ought as a personal debt to walk and conduct himself in the same way in which He walked and conducted Himself.

WALK AS JESUS WALKED

The Holy Spirit wants to produce Christ-like individuals – not religious robots, not doctrinal champions, not evangelistic whirlwinds, but men who are like Jesus Christ,” concludes George Verwer in his search for the heart of the New Testament message.

Many non-Christians do not want to turn to the Lord because they see the life of Christians around them and are totally put off. What about you? Can those around you testify to the Christ-like nature in you? Or is there a world of difference to what you are and what you profess to be?

Paul was an imitator of Christ. In 1 Thessalonians 1:5-6, Paul said, “You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your good. For our gospel came to you not merely in the form of words but in mighty power infused with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. Surely you remember how we lived our lives transparently before you to encourage you.

And you set yourselves to become imitators of us and through us of the Lord Himself, for you welcomed our message in spite of much persecution, with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit; Will you renew your relationship with the Lord today and determine to transform yourself to be more Christ-like?

As you imitate the Lord Jesus, let your life influence the lives of others around you, so they too will be drawn to Him.

We’re the open bible of the world as we imitate out Lord Jesus Christ in all things.

Everybody shout a loud, “AMEN & AMEN!”

Shalom and good morning.
