"Be imitators of me,
as I am of Christ.”
1st Corinthians 11:1
1st Corinthians 11:1
Who
are you following? Are you following celebrities, friends, the latest trends
and other ways of the world? If you are, how is that working out for you? There
is no fulfillment in worldly pleasures; absolutely none.
The world will make you think that when
you have certain things or look a certain way then you will be happy, but most
of us who have tried this know that it is a blatant lie. There is no true
fulfillment in the world. True fulfillment is only found by following Jesus.
Like Paul said in 1st Corinthians, we
believers should imitate Christ so that the world may see him working in us and
imitate us. If we claim to follow Christ while we are still living in sin, the
people of the world then validate their sin. If we leave our sinful nature
behind to follow Jesus, then we can be a true example; a true living sacrifice.
Yes we are not perfect, but humbling ourselves to let God work in us is the
start of our transformation.
