We've often heard the expression “by beholding we become”. If we're in an environment long enough, we begin to imitate what is around us. We become what we see. If we fill our mind with things of this world, it isn't long before all interest in spiritual things disappears. But when we keep our eyes on Jesus, we soon become just like Him. Christ, every thought, deed and action reflected His intimate relationship with His father. He made time for worship, memorize scripture, prayed, and took His instruction from God. Jesus had a godly heart. There's a song that expresses so beautifully just how to live a godly life, called Be Like Jesus. And the words go like this “Earthly pleasures vainly call me, I would be like Jesus. Nothing worldly shall enthrall me, I would be like Jesus. Be like Jesus, This my song, In the home and in the throng. Be like Jesus all day long, I would be like Jesus”. Ask God today to give you a burning desire to be more like Jesus and live a godly life.
Romans 12:2 KJV - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Philippians 1:27 KJV - Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
1 John 2:15-16 KJV - Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Matthew 5:16 KJV - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
