For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firsrborn among many brethren. Romans 8:29

 

There is a saying, “like father, like son”; in essence the son models his behavior after his father. Most children who are blessed to have a father figure in the home, looks up to him as an example to live by. Hopefully the father has a good character and passes these positive traits onto his son.

 

As a Christian, you should yearn to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. As God’s Son, His character is captured in scripture and is the perfect example of how every believer should live. Slow to anger, exhibiting grace and mercy, showing love and compassion to others are just a few of the traits that characterize the behavior of a true follower of Jesus Christ.

 

Can you personally say, “like Father like son”? The best way to transform your mind to model after Christ is read and study scripture. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, are excellent recordings of Jesus life. When you read God’s word, your mind changes its thought processes and yields a heart that seeks after the goodness of Christ and His character. Make time this week to study those books of the bible and begin to see your behavior follow after your Father in Heaven. Like Father, like son! God bless!
