Description
Becoming like Jesus is the ultimate goal for Christians, as it is summarized in various mission statements in the Bible. It means fearing God, keeping His commandments, doing all in the name of the Lord Jesus, and glorifying God. Talents play a role in being like Christ, as they are given by God to be used in His service and for His glory. Young adults can use their talents to contribute to the church and better look like Jesus. Jesus grew in wisdom, stature, favor with God, and favor with man, and we can apply this growth to our own lives by growing intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially with purpose. In this conversation, Robert and Tyler discuss the importance of spending time getting to know Jesus and how to do so through Bible study, meditation, and prayer. They emphasize that nothing can replace these practices and that they are essential for becoming Christ-like. They also explore how Christ-likeness may look different depending on the stage of life, but the mission remains the same. They provide practical ways to live and be Christ-like, such as serving others with compassion, seeing the potential for good in everybody, living by the mantra 'Not my will, but yours be done,' patiently enduring mistreatment, and talking about Jesus.
