Hello steamians I would like to share the word of God with us.
Topic: BEING CHRIST-LIKE
Source
Readings: Matthew 5:1-12
[1]One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him,
[2]and he began to teach them.
[3]“God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
[4]God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
[5]God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.
[6]God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied.
[7]God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
[8]God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.
[9]God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.
[10]God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

[11]“God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers.
[12]Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.
Firstly, being CHRIST-LIKE is all about living in accordance to the ways and likeness of Jesus Christ. It says in the word that Jesus taught his disciples how to become more like him and also He gave a descriptive presentation on what Christ likeness encompasses. Christ also taught us an additional disposition that each one of us must possess.

The word of God tells us that as we do live to please Christ that's living in the CHRIST-LIKE way, there would be several persecutions and we should be prepared for them when they do come. When the persecutions do come and we are not well prepared we can be drawn back into our old sinful ways. Also until we have been persecuted? for living for Christ, our Christ- likeness has not yet manifested.
Being CHRIST-LIKE also means the light in us must truly give illumination and not cause darkness. And also we being the salt of the world must give a good taste to the world and not otherwise.

Woow God bless you for sharing. Being christ-like also is having the mind that christ had. Philipians 2:5 says let this mind be in you which was also in christ. There was a mind in christ which was the mind of No Reputation before men. Jesus had no intension of pleasing human beings. He didnt want juatification from men at all. All that mattered to Him was that His father was pleased.
