Moving beyond just learning about Jesus to actually living like Him is the essential progression of our Christian journey. In this episode of The Drive, Pastors Spencer and Bob discuss what it truly means to be an imitator of Christ, as commanded in Ephesians 5:1-2.
Imitating Christ requires a death—the death of our old nature and self-will, not physical death. Romans 12:1-2 calls us to present our bodies as a "living sacrifice". By destroying the "old man," our lives become a sweet-smelling aroma to God. The Bible describes God as holy, just, and loving, and as His children, we are commanded to imitate these characteristics.
Pastor Spencer and Bob examine how Christians can partner with God to live a holy life. This partnership involves meditating on God's Word to renew your mind and replace destructive thoughts with things that are true, noble, and pure. Living a holy life is the most important thing a Christian can do. It becomes a powerful testimony for Jesus and an example for the world to see.
Key Takeaways:
Imitate God's Character: We are commanded to be imitators of God, developing His character traits of purity, holiness, justice, and love.
A Living Sacrifice: We are called to be a living sacrifice, putting our own will and former sinful nature to death. This daily sacrifice is a "sweet-smelling aroma" to God.
Holiness and Reverence: A casual approach to faith is a sign of lost reverence for God's holiness. Scripture shows us that no one can see God's face and live, underscoring His immense power and purity.
Partnership with God: We partner with God in our sanctification by meditating on His Word, allowing it to renew our minds and shape our thoughts, words, actions, and character.
The Power of Prayer: Prayer is a crucial part of our Christian walk and a "sweet-smelling aroma" to God.
