Imitator of God – Pt. 1

Sep16

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;
Ephesians 5:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.5.1.NASB1995

“Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.
Leviticus 19:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/lev.19.2.NASB1995

Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5:48 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.48.NASB1995

You shall be blameless (complete, perfect or having integrity) before the Lord your God.
Deuteronomy 18:13 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/deu.18.13.NASB1995

Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you;
Philippians 3:12-15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.3.12-15.NASB1995

🌹Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

United For The Glory of God

Sep13

United in praise:

When the priests came forth from the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without regard to divisions), and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and kinsmen, clothed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps and lyres, standing east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests blowing trumpets in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to praise and to glorify the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they praised the Lord saying, “He indeed is good for His lovingkindness is everlasting,” then the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.
2 Chronicles 5:11-14 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ch.5.11-14.NASB1995

No Other God

There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, Nor are there any works like Yours.

²That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth.
³There is none like You, O Lord; You are great, and great is Your name in might.

⁵Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in praises, working wonders?
⁶Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders.
⁷‘O Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as Yours?

Blessed Are Those Who Long

Jul4

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
Ephesians 1:4-5 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.1.4-5.NASB1995

‭Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.
Isaiah 30:18 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.30.18.NASB1995

Believers are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to walk in good works. Jesus reconciled the believer in order to present us holy, blameless and beyond reproach. Jesus came to open the eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf – those lost in darkness and deaf to God’s word. God will guide our feet in the way of peace. The Lord longs to be gracious to you.
Ephesians 2:10; Colossians 1:22; Isaiah 32:3, 30:21; Luke 1:79

Why Am I Here?

Jun22

He (Jesus) gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
Titus 2:14 NASB

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10 NASB

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love
Ephesians 1:4 NASB

There is a plan for every believer of Jesus Christ. A plan created before we ever stepped into it. A plan for good works as redeemed by Jesus’s sacrificial life. We belong to Christ, created in Him for good works. So, let us walk in a manner worthy of our calling without fear, because our God has the plan.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear?The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread?
Psalms 27:1 NASB

🌹Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;
1 Peter 3:13‭-‬15 NASB

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,

Glorify God

Jan3

For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
1 Corinthians 6:20 NASB

God, how do I glorify You in my body? By Your mercies I present my body a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to You, which is my spiritual service of worship. I pray that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Jesus Christ will be exalted in my body. This is my earnest expectation and hope. I pray You will keep me from presenting the members of my body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but help me to present myself to You, God, as alive from the dead, and my members as instruments of righteousness to You. Glory to Your name I pray, amen.
Romans 12:1/Philippians 1:20/Romans 6:13 NASB

🌹Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.
