We should love each other well, just as Christ loves us He has died so all can live a life most virtuous All who have this hope in Christ can be now secure As we strive to purify ourselves, just as He is pure Just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s lie We can be led astray from Christ, when our sin we justify Just as we now appear as man, prone to sin on earth We’ll bear the image of the heavenly man, bought by the new birth Just as we must live by faith, let us die to sin Through the death of Christ our Lord, we have been born again Let us walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us Our life a sacrifice to God, bearing His image glorious Debbie Furey November 22, 2020 1 John 3:3 – “All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.” 2 Corinthians 11:3 – “But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” 1 John 3:1-10 2 Corinthians 11:1-4 1 Corinthians 15:45-49 Ephesians 5:1-11 Did you ever see a little child try to imitate his father? He tries to do exactly just as he sees his father doing. This is so precious to the Father. Jesus tells us to become like little children to enter heaven. And He asks us to live just as He lived, a life of love. When we do this, we will bear the image of our Father in heaven just as Jesus bore the image of His Father when He walked on earth.
