"Behold, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God." -3 John 1:11

Imitate God, that is the conclusion of this verse... because only God is good.

"And Jesus said unto him, why callest thou me good? None is good, save one, that is, God." -Luke 18:19

How can we imitate God? How can we be good?

First. We need to get to know God. And the only way we can get to know Him is thru His Word.

If we want to get to know someone, we gather information about them and details about their life... God's written His in the Bible. The only way we will get to know Him is thru His Word... His Word that fade not (Mark 13:31).

Second. Understand His Word. Though we will never perceive God with our human capabilities but with His help we will, with the Holy Spirit. Understanding the Word of God will enable us to do His Word... to be able to imitate God. We need the Holy Spirit in understanding God, and so pray for God's guidance & wisdom because only God can give.

Third. We need faith to be able to fulfill it all. The desire to know God requires faith and to be able to understand, needs faith... a faith that saves... The Holy Spirit can't come to you if we don't have Jesus in our lives, and Jesus can't be in our hearts if we don't believe in Him... Faith is important and without it it is impossible to please and expect anything from God (Hebrews 11:6).

Those three things we need to do and have... to be able to imitate God, to imitate Jesus... Just continue to read His Word, for faith comes from hearing the Word of God. And with prayer for God to intervene and help you. Never forget to pray for miracles happen when we pray.

To God be the glory!
