What is being Christlike all about?

-

 


The concept of "being Christlike" can be misunderstood, as people might interpret it as trying to perfectly replicate every action of Jesus, which is not realistic, but rather the focus should be on emulating his character traits like love, compassion, forgiveness, and humility, even when facing difficult situations.

Key points about the misunderstanding:
  
Perfectionism:
Some might believe that being Christlike means being completely flawless, which is not attainable for humans as Jesus is divine.
  
Literal interpretation:
Taking Jesus' actions too literally without considering the context or the overall message of his teachings.
  
Ignoring personal struggles:
Failing to acknowledge that even Jesus faced challenges and temptations, making it important to seek grace and forgiveness when we fall short.
  
   
What does it truly mean to be Christlike?
  
Love your neighbor:
Following Jesus' example of showing love and kindness to everyone, even those who are different or difficult.
 
Humility and service:
Putting others first, prioritizing their needs over your own, and being willing to serve others.
 
Forgiveness and grace:
Extending forgiveness to others, just as God has forgiven us.
 
Standing up for justice:
Speaking out against injustice and advocating for the marginalized as Jesus did.

Sin Doesn’t Come From Temptation

I grew up thinking temptation was where sin came from. On any given day, I would be going about my business and then temptation would spring to life: a pretty girl would walk by, a friend would launch into a dirty joke, a copy of next week’s test would fall into my hands. It was my duty, then and there, to fight temptation by saying no to it or fleeing from it altogether. Temptation was the enemy. Defeat meant sin. But the problem is not temptation. The real problem is in the heart where our desires lie.  Temptation cannot exist where desire does not first exist. You cannot be tempted to do something you do not first want. The Bible teaches that desire brings about temptation. “Each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is fully grown, brings forth death” (1:14–15). When does temptation occur? After the desires have enticed us. Temptations do not produce desires, but desir...

The Wrong Way To Fight Sin

When you want to stop doing a sin, what do you do?  Do you try to deprive yourself of something, keep away from tempting situations, or try to distract yourself with more innocuous activities?  You have probably already learned this through practice, but none of these techniques will ever work. You cannot deprive yourself, ignore your desires, or beat your will into submission. Why? Because your mind and will aren’t the center of your decision-making process. Your heart is. If you don’t love something you won’t do it. If you don’t hate something you won’t leave it alone.  Yet in so many of the self-help books and even sermons today, people are preaching this strategy. There is always some new “wisdom” for how to stop bad habits and start good ones. Many of them treat sin like a diet. Starve out the bad. Feed the good. But sin doesn't work like this.  In our passage for today, Paul is going up against similar religious tactics of his time. He is trying to help his aud...
