Greetings to all parishioners and to those who has been following my post.
Peace be with you all.
The title has said it all about this post and you must have heard a lot about something like this but this is different. Our main purpose on earth is to live like Christ and to be like Christ. Too many people don't really believe this is possible.
Jesus Christ is God in a human body, one of the reason why Jesus come to this earth is show us a good example on how to live and to tell us we can be perfect, we don't any excuse whatsoever. As a christian, to be Christ like we must first conquer world.
Jesus Christ has already told us how to live like him in the bible but we must be filled with the spirit before we can achieve this. This bible passage say;
Luke 6:37-49
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
God want us to be different to from the outside world, God want us to be friendly and never condemn anybody instead we must learn how to forgive and accept them with open arms and let them know they change.
If you read the passage very well you will see that God want us to be perfect like him and their is no excuse for us because God has already show us how we can live to be perfect.
To be like Christ we must be spirit filled and never depart from God, live to obey all his commandments of God. I realize that people are not sincere with themselves but to do all everything God said we must believe that with God everything is possible.
Thanks for your time.
