“I

like the lord...”

Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Is it possible to be, in nature, like our wonderful Lord? God says
yes, we will strive for, yet never reach full perfection until we are
joined with Him.
Romans
8:29 KJV
For
whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to
the image of His Son, that He might be The Firstborn among many
brethren.
Romans
8:29 NLT
For
God knew His people in advance, and He chose them to become like
His Son, so that His Son would be The Firstborn among many
brothers and sisters.
I
John 3:2 KJV
Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him;
for we shall see Him as He is.
How can we ever come close to being like Him? We can by receiving Him
into our life, and by living according to His Word!
II
Peter 1:3,4 NLT
3 By
His Divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a
Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him,
the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and
excellence.
4
And because of His glory and excellence, He has given us great and
precious promises (The
Word Of God ed.) . These are the promises that
enable you to share His Divine nature and escape the world’s
corruption caused by human desires.
Psalm
119:11
Thy
Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
The first thing we must do, is to receive God's Son, The Savior, The
Lord Jesus into our heart and life, making Him The Lord of our life.
The second thing is to read and know all of His promises to us, His
child, that is reading and knowing The Word Of God, The Bible.
Psalm
90:17 KJV
And
let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the
work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou
it.
Let
The Beauty Of Jesus Be Seen In Me
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me,
All His wonderful passion and purity;
O my Savior divine, All my being refine,
Till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me.

Prayer:
Romans 5:7,8 KJV
7 For scarcely for a righteous man
will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to
die.
8 But God commendeth His love toward
us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 6:23 KJV
“For
the wages of sin is death; but The Gift Of God is Eternal Life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
