Created to Become Like Christ

Day Twenty-two
Thinking about My Purpose


Points to Ponder: I was created to become like Christ.

Verse to Remember: "As the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory even more." 2 Corinthians 3:18b (NLT)

Question to Consider: In what area of my life do I need to ask for the Spirit's power to be like Christ today?

God's Spirit Working in You
  • We must cooperate with the Holy Spirit's work.
    • Choose to let go of old ways of acting.
    • Change the way we think
    • "Put on" the character of Christ by developing new, godly habits.
  • God uses his Word, people, and circumstances to mold us.
    • God's Word provides the truth we need to grow.
    • God's people provide the support we need to grow.
    • Circumstances provide the environment we need to practice Christlikeness.
  • Becoming like Christ is a long, slow process of growth.
