3) Run your race with patience. The road to becoming like Christ is a life-long journey which will not end in a week. More-so, you must stay on the path of Christ-likeness. This requires patience in the place of prayer and discipline.
4) Look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Here, the Bible encourages us to study the life of Jesus, pointing out to us that he endured the shame of the cross and is now seated at the right hand of God.
Our focus must always be on God, no matter what we do or who we are. He must be at the forefront of our minds. When times get tough and the world turns against you for your faith in Jesus, hold fast, remembering Jesus who endured a lot of hatred and hostility from the very people He came to liberate from the hold of darkness.
5) What would Jesus do? This is a question you must constantly ask yourself wherever you are. We face many choices on a daily basis and temptations to sin abound. However, beyond all that, this question must be our default approach. Before you lose your temper or give in to your “sinful nature”, ask yourself, would Jesus do this? In 1 Peter 2:21-22, the Bible tells us to aim to be like Christ, following in his example of doing no sin and conducting ourselves in a Godly manner.
PRAYER: Dear father, help me to know you. I ask that you show yourself strong to me and give me the strength to be more like you each day. Amen!
