Becoming Like Our Savior

Going through 40 Day of Community the statement was used several time that we need to become more like Jesus. Certainly the Bible teaches this and we should strive to be like Him! God has a plan for every one of us and coming to know Jesus as Savior is only the first step. He want us as His children to develop a close "family" likeness. One of the ways we do that is to continually change our mind set. We do that by the Holy Spirit's power. He, Holy Spirit transforms us. That is one of His jobs! He is the Great Transformer! He uses scriptural truths to replace our wrong thoughts and actions. We hear Him by meditating on God's Word!

Meditating on the Word of God is essential for spiritual change and spiritual growth! When we sin we are to acknowledge it to God and accept His forgiveness. Then we need to ask ourselves what we need to do to avoid that particular sin in the future. When we acknowledge our sin we are clean before God. Now we are ready to grow. His desire is that we turn from such behavior. He is pleased when we change our attitude, behavior, and lifestyle to conform to Christ's image!!!

Renewing our minds, confessing our sins, and making the changes in our lives are necessary to become like our Savior! We need to continually ask ourselves are we becoming more and more like Him. In my Quiet Time each day, God shows me what I need to change to become more like Him. Sometimes it is not pleasant, but it always rewarding! My desire is that I hear God and continue to make changes and become more like our Savior!
