Imitators of God

“THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].” To be imitators of God we must know Him first. We want an informed opinion of the Lord for ourselves. It’s a personal relationship with God that matters most. In the gospels we can learn the ways of Jesus, how He dealt with the normal circumstances of life. Looking at how He responds to people and their mess. Follow His example of how He doesn’t compromise His calling. No matter the pressure, even up to the point of being crucified on the cross, He kept the faith and completed His God given purpose. To be imitators of God is to have our portion of troubles that go along with it. But the Lord has given us everything we need to be victorious. Our job is to find out what our God given purpose is, and by doing so we will be in training towards becoming imitators of God automatically. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). He takes care of that which concerns you. We can’t follow His example if we don’t know Him imitately. He wants all of you pursuing Him, spirit, soul and body. With all your mind, all of your will, and everything that is within you must go after Him. In thought purpose and action with a Christ centered mentality must we seek Him. By doing so, you will be an imitator of God.
