Living the Christlike Life is living by every Word of God, like Jesus did. He acknowledges God the Father in everything. To live the Christ like life ,we must begin by:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.” (Proverbs 3:5-7 NKJV).
“……present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2 NKJV).
Jesus functions in the Spirit and through the Spirit of God. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” (Romans 8:14 NKJV). It’s the only way to know the things of God.
“But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.” (I Corinthians 2:10-16 NKJV). Which means we have to be led by the Spirit, like Christ did.
Galatians 2:20 puts it this way :
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me…
+Christ lives in us through the Holy Spirit and His Word.
Then 1 Corinthians 6:19 says:
+The Holy Spirit is in us so that Christ can live through us while we live by every Word of God, as Matthew 4:4 tells us.
+Only then will we think things through the Mind of Christ
+When we speak, His Words will be our vocabulary.
+When we act or do things ,it is by His Strength, Power, and Authority.
As Philippians 2:13 says:
For it is God Who works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
•And the Lord Said: Continue to let My WORD be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like I your Lord Jesus Christ Loves you while keeping your Faith, Trust and Confidence in Me.
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
[Jude 1:24-25 NKJV]
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be, and to My Father, The Holy Spirit and I your Lord be all the GLORY. Amen!
