Thursday: How to Live Like Jesus — 11 Comments

  1. God loved us so much that while we were yet sinners,He gave us His son to die in our place,now it's hard to give someone to die in ones place, it takes love to do such a thing and we humans it's hard to love one another if we don't show the love the Father showed when He gave heaven to die for sinners.I think to love our enemies we have to first let the love of Jesus be in us,let Him live in us and His teachings in us then shall we learn to love.

  2. The world is lacking in love, unselfish love. Jesus gave us unselfish, unconditional, and undying love. May we show someone love today.

  3. Today I am claiming this promise for all the people that I love. My prayer is for their salvation in Jesus.
    If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

  4. Lord, I know that this is hard, loving those who offends us breaks the very core of our being. However, Philippians 4:13 always brings me back to reality...it states 'I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me'. Knowing therefore, that you will give me the strength I daily seek I am forever grateful for your mercies towards me. Thank you Jesus and while I am a work in progress I will continue to seek you daily so that my joy maybe full and those around me will continue to see you in me. I pray that we all will daily lift him up, so that His light will forever shine in our daily living.

  5. This is a great lesson for me, especially given my recent situation. As I am a young man developing my career,I am inclined to be selfish and only focus on professional advancement over my girlfriend, my friends, and my family. But God reminds me that selfless love is crucial to my service to Him. Thank you father for putting me back on the right path!

  6. What has troubled me is the fact that God gave us a brain to use. Some think that God will do everything for us and some even think that the best way to do Bible study is to plop a Bible down so that it opens randomly to some point in scripture as though God was manipulating how the book opened but I doubt that is how the Lord works. Nor do I see Jesus pleased when we toss coins or cast lots to make a decision.

    He gives us the means to intelligently make choices and expects us to use that freedom rather than being told everything to do. It is for this reason that institutions such as slavery, dictatorships, Communism and the like are terribly destructive to the soul for it puts our brains in neutral. We are to be free moral agents dependent on God to make things happen – not make our decisions for us.

  7. No one can be righteous apart from Christ; no one can be holy apart from Jesus and no one can have true love apart from Him. Our Lord Jesus Christ is righteousness, holiness and love. To have these attributes one must remain a branch to the Vine. John 15:5 says: ".... for without Me you can do nothing."

  8. Living to love like Jesus, equals to dying to self for others, when the "self" in us dies, we can live to love others in Christ Jesus. The Agape love should be the driving force in our christian walk.Our lord Jesus Christ emptied all for us including His own life so that we can have eternal life though we did not deserve it, may we embrace this grace and love like Jesus.

  9. The love that motivates our thoughts and feelings is the only love that will go forth from us to our enemies. This is a love that becomes a part of our character. It is not a love that we merely feel from God. It is a love that we choose to receive from God by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of relating properly with others. If it is not built into our character it must be contrived and fake. This is not the result of God's work in us but the sparks our own kindling.
