Good Morning!
I hope that as you go about your daily duties that you remember that one thing is present yourself as Christ would!
Romans 12:1 & 2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
These verses have always been some of my favorite, and you may say, Paula, you say that about a lot of verses. Well, I'll be honest with you, The Bible is my favorite book. So I have a lot of favorite verses :) So my question to you is How do you present yourself when you are at work? school? play? out with friends? or whatever you do.
You are to be Christ like and in order to do that we have to:
1. Not conform to the world ~ what does this mean? It's simply that you don't let the world pull you into it's web of sin.
2. Be transformed ~ Be Christ like not world like
3. renew your mind ~ constantly be feeding yourself on God's word and on things that are of God, such as Godly music, not the so called Christian Rock..... stop and think about it does rock-n-roll and Christian really go together? You can't combine a good and bad together and expect it to be good.
4. prove what is good ~ Prove to the world that the Christian life if good.
5. prove what is acceptable ~ Let your friends know what is acceptable to you. Don't say, "whatever" NO stand up for what you stand for.
6. Perfect will of God ~ don't you think that presenting yourself as Christ is the will of God. He wants and knows what is the Perfect will of God for your life. Let him show you.
So as a Christian, yes I, we, fail. BUT we can get back up and we can do what we can to live in a way that we present our bodies a living sacrifice holy acceptable unto God.
You ask how can I show I'm Christlike?
1. your language
2. your appearance
3. your dress
4. your attitude
5. the way you treat people
These are just a few of many, many ways you can present yourself.
