Christ like

The most effective way to win someone to Christ is to be like Christ. You don't have to argue with someone. You don't have to quote Bible verses to them. You can just exemplify Jesus in your life. That's why His word says 'Faith without works is dead.' You can talk until the cows come home, but if you're not walking like you're talking, you're just a hypocrite -- and God's word says He will spit you out if you're lukewarm. He says to be hot or be cold but He will spit out the lukewarm. Hypocrites become a liability to God. They set people back. There are a lot of people who say they won't go to church because of the hypocrites (but where ELSE would they be??)

God wants us to be 'on fire' for Him. He has very high standards and high expectations. That's why sin is often called 'missing the mark' - God's mark - God's expectation.

The way to be LIKE Christ is to have Christ live inside of us. When you become Spirit-filled, then He comes to live inside of you, and THEN you will be like Christ. Your body will be the temple of the Holy Spirit. Only Christ can be like Christ...
