How many times are you taken aback by the action of a son or daughter that is exactly like their father? 

It could be as simple as a smile, an expression, even the way he walks… but he surely reminds you of his father!

This is the imagine I want you to have in your mind when you read this Bible verse. 

“…Be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:16)

If you confess that God is your Father, then you must have His character. He is Holy so therefore you must live in Holiness.

To live in holiness will not be easy, it will mean cutting off some old friendships, habits and places. It will be very difficult, but you must make the decision to be different. 

If you are not showing the characteristics of Jesus, then you are not His child. It’s that simple, and others will see it too and come to the same conclusion. Because they can’t see Him in you. 

But don’t be discouraged, I have good news for you. He is Spirit and because of this you can become His child by living according to His Word. In fact, the only way to be born of God is by reading His Word and obeying It with your daily decisions.

This is to be born of the Spirit… to have His Spirit, His thoughts, His actions. 

Spiritually kill and bury your flesh and it’s deeds and you will for sure began to resemble your Heavenly Father. Then others will say, “Like Father like Son” about you and God. 

May the God of the Bible bless you.
