Becoming
Like Jesus
Loving
God takes place through three key areas:
1.
Personal Bible Study-As we come to love and know Christ, it is
important that we develop an ongoing relationship with Him by
spending time with Him each day. Personal Bible study helps us
know God's desire for our lives.
This time with God is seen in Jesus' life. He
often would slip away from the disciples and the many crowds
that were following Him. We know from glimpses that the Bible
gives us of these times that Jesus spent time praying and
growing in His relationship with God. Just as we spend time
developing relationships, God desires to spend time with
us.
Becoming Like Jesus is not simply the process of
learning more about the Bible or spending time talking to God.
It is about allowing these times to transform our lives by
being obedient to God's Word.
2.
Personal Prayer-God knows all there is to know about us. In fact,
He knows more about us than we know about ourselves. That
is why talking with God on a daily basis is so important.
It allows our relationship to deepen as we tell Him our
hurts, desires, concerns, and needs. Prayer should come
from an honest and open heart.
3. Bible Fellowship Involvement-
God encourages us to spend time with other people who are
following Him. These small groups allow us to experience
life together while encouraging each other to live out God's
Word.
