“Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.” – 1 Corinthians 11:1
For all the theological complexities, marvels, and wonders of our faith, the question of how we should live can be answered pretty simply! Imitate Paul who imitated Jesus. In other words, imitate Jesus.
It’s as simple as that. Act like Jesus. Talk like Jesus. Think like Jesus. Don’t just ask what would Jesus do, DO what Jesus would do. Always. No need to overthink it.
You’ll mess up sometimes. It’s inevitable. When you do, there’s always grace freely available from God to cover your sin when you confess it to Him and ask forgiveness. Learn to live in God’s Spirit and mess up less and less over time. Imitate Jesus more and more, better and better.
Imitate Jesus. It’s as simple as that!
