Bible Verse to Explore: Colossians 2:6
Who do you want to be like? Do you dress like them? Talk like them? Think like them? Why? What are the long-term benefits of acting, speaking or dressing like that
person?
Psalm 139:14 says you were “fearfully and wonderfully made.” God created you to be you. Colossians 2:16 says, “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him.”
Have you considered trying to be more like Jesus rather than copying another person? Here are some of the traits of Jesus you could copy. He is:
* Strong
* Thoughtful
* Intelligent
* Wise
* Articulate
* Joyful
* Compassionate
* Confident
* At peace with himself and his Father
* Good
* Loving
* Patient
* Kind
* Gentle
Most of us try to be the best we can be. Who better to model our lives after that the only perfect person who ever lived – Jesus, God’s own Son!
