Study of John: Likeness of Christ...

But how do we live out the likeness of Christ? This is the question I left us with yesterday. 

To live like Christ likeness, we need to know what Christ lived like, this being Jesus.

To live like Christ we need to think like him:

2 And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]. Romans 12:2

To live like Christ, we need to love one another:

34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too are to love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you have love and unselfish concern for one another.” John 13:34-35

We must be forgiving to live like Christ: 

32 Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

We are to obey to live like Christ:

So Jesus was saying to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word [continually obeying My teachings and living in accordance with them, then] you are truly My disciples. John 8:31

you are to love righteousness to live like Christ:

For the Lord is [absolutely] righteous, He loves righteousness (virtue, morality, justice); The upright shall see His face. Psalm 11:7

Other things to live like Christ are to pray, read God's word, preach the gospel to the world, and 

Pray without ceasing, 1 Thessalonians 5:17 ESV

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, John 8 :31 ESV

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 ESV

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV 

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Mark 16:15 ESV

If I missed anything I would love to know what? So, feel free to let me know...
