"Whoever claims to live in him must walk as he walked himself." (1 John 2:6)
Why should Christians imitate Christ? They should do it first for themselves. If they want to be healthy for the soul if they want to escape the disease of sin, to enjoy the growing force of grace, Jesus can be their model.
for their own happiness, if they want to drink the wine to the dregs although refined, if they want to enjoy a happy and holy communion with Jesus, if they want to rise above the cares and woes of this world, they walk like he marché.Il n ' There is nothing that can help us walk as much to the sky with a firm that will take the image of Jesus on our hearts to comply with its rule of conduct.
When is the power of the Holy Spirit, you are enabled to walk with Jesus in the same footprint of its steps, you are the happiest and most recognized as the son of God. Pierre would be kept away was neither safe nor comfortable.
Now because of the fight for religion to be like Jesus. Ah! Poor religion, you were sadly beaten by a cruel enemy, but you have not been half as dangerously injured by your enemies as you have been by your friends. Who did these injuries in the beautiful hand of piety? The teacher (who calls himself a Christian) who uses the dagger of hypocrisy. The man who craftily into the fold, being nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing, cloudy, scattered the flock more than the lion's dehors.Il no weapon that is half as deadly the kiss of Judas. Teachers who contradict themselves do more harm to the Gospel as mocking or unfaithful.
But especially because of Christ, imitate his example. Christian do you love your Savior? His name thee he precious? His cause thee expensive? Want to see the kingdoms of the world become hers? Is it your desire that he be glorified? Do you yearn to see souls won to him? If so, imitates Jesus Be a letter of Christ, known and read of all men.
