Sunday AdelajaImitate the traits of your creator
About This Quote
In Jesus’s sermon on the mount, he says that we should “imitate the traits of our creator” (Matthew 5:48). The word “traits” is a Greek word that means “parts.” So, the Bible is telling us to be like God and to imitate his parts. The parts of God: ---His Word: When we spend time with God, we hear him speak to us. We see how he is working in our lives and we learn from him. ---His Love: When we spend time with God, we feel love for him. We feel how he loves others and we love others like he does.
When you love others like you love God, you will not want to do anything that would hurt them or see them suffering. Instead, you will seek to help them. ---His Spirit: When we spend time with God, we experience his Holy Spirit and we become closer to him and understand more of what he wants for our lives. ---His Power: When we spend time with God, we begin to have more faith and confidence in ourselves now that we know that he loves us and is working in our lives. ---His Authority: When we spend time with God, we become more responsible as parents, educators, business people and as citizens of the world. People will listen to what you have to say because they know you are willing to do your part for the good of everyone else.
