Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1

 

The Apostle Paul wrote 1 Corinthians to the church of God, which was in Corinth. The main theme of this letter was to encourage believers in Christ to live in the midst of a corrupt culture, by living the example of Christ, just like Paul. Paul wrote, “imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ”. A bold statement, but Paul was loyal to Jesus Christ and his entire life was devoted to the One who transformed his life into one of the most influential persons who modeled life after Christ.

 

If you had to explain Jesus Christ to someone outside the faith, could you do it by how you live? Would others see a difference in your life in comparison to those outside the faith? As a child of God, people watch you to see how you react, how you live your daily life by the actions you take, words spoken and interaction with others.  

 

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16

 

The world needs to see the grace, mercy and love of Christ. They need to see how living a life of Christ sets them free from the bonds of sin’s slavery. The world needs to see Jesus through your life. Will you be loyal to the One who saved you and is transforming your life into His image? God bless!
