Genesis 1: 26 Then God said,”Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…” Here God says that He made human beings exactly like Himself. Then the question comes that how is our God ?
1 Peter 1:16 Since it is written ,”You shall be holy , for I am holy.” Here two words make it absolutely clear that God has made us like Himself.
We can know very easily what we have added to it in our lives ????? God wants us to live a life of purity and holiness only then we can be in the likeness of God. The proverb says that Jehovah is averse to those who do evil. So by this verse we can test ourselves whether we also remain averse to those who do evil or are themselves evil. The doers of the words are very sincere in everything they do. We can easily recognize what our intention is ? How our heart is ?If we gossip and still believe that we are God’s children, we only deceive ourselves .
. 2Corinthians 3:2 says ,” you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on the tablets of human hearts. So the word is very clear. We have to be according to God, according to His word . Everything apart from that would be a deal of loss. The proverb says that there is a path which seems straight to a man but at the end of it only death is found.
So God expects that our character should be like God. We belong to God. We have to lead a life of purity and separation from the world. 2 Corinthians 6:14 says”Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness?Or what fellowship has light with darkness ? Further the word says Go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you”.Lord is very clear to us that our nature conform to the nature of God.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You that You are our Father and that You are the Holy God. Dear Lord, wherever we do not match with Your nature, please grant us grace to be like You and make our life pleasing to You and acceptable before You. This is what we desire. We ask this prayer in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen
