My Days with Christ Jesus

Day 212

July 31

"...the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked." -1 John 2:6 NASB

A Christian ought to live in the same way Christ has lived His life.

Loving, obedient and humility. Such values is in Jesus.
He loved us that He willingly died for us. Our weakness, our flaws didn't stop Him from loving us...
He obeyed God the Father even unto His death for our salvation. Matthew 1:21 says that Jesus was born to save His people that was His mission, His purpose... and on the cross He fulfilled what He was born to do. All the sufferings, the pain and even His death was meant to be yours but He bore it to save all man.
Lastly Him being God humbled Himself became man,
As C.S. Lewis would put it... "The Son of God became man to enable man to become sons of God."
Him being the Son of God, who is high on the throne became a man to serve not to be served, healing and teaching the people.
Having those traits will help us to live our lives today...

To be precise to walk in the same way with Jesus is to walk in the Spirit.

" But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." -Galatians 5:22-23

As a Christian, we should be lead by the Spirt of God, who is our comforter. As written He will guide and teach us the way... in how we should live.
Calling ourselves Christians would mean, we are followers of Christ, following Christ would then mean doing the same things He does, note also that He came to the earth, preaching, teaching, & healing. We ought to do the same.

Lastly He died killing sin and so we ought to kill sin, the sin that is in us, the sin that reminds us of our past, kill it (Romans 8:13).

The secret in living a Christian life is keeping the Word of God in you.

To God be the glory!
