When I think about what imitating Christ looks like, it often makes me think of specific experiences that are a reflection of who Christ is and what He looks like in people or in the church. Ephesians 5:1-2, Christ example is Love and Surrender; He has loved and gave himself as a sacrifice for the body. God desires the same thing for His children, He wants us to receive his love and love him as well, and he also desires our whole life; that is the ultimate love and surrender.
When I think of the church the Lord so graciously has allowed me to be engaged in since I was 4, I see His life at work. I truly see a body of people that strive to lay down this life and walk in his love. The church, has intently tried raising up a body of believers to know that they are God’s and that living life in imitation of him is not just doing good, but ‘being’ his, being focused on His love.
If the children of God live a life in imitation to Christ by walking in His love and surrendering our own lives for His purpose, the availability of ministry involvement is infinite.
