Text: Proverbs 4:18
'But the path of the just is like the shinning sun that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day'
Certain things are expected of children of God after our salvation experience. We have to realise first that having been called out of darkness into God's light, old things, that is, the former ways of life must come to an end then we embrace fully, the new life that we have been called to live. Then we aim to become better everyday till we see God face to face.
God gives us the capacity to live godly lives when we come to know Him. The second letter of Peter chapter 1 verse 5 to 7, gives practical steps by which we can become better. Through diligence, a child of God must add moral excellence, knowledge of God, self control, perseverance, godliness, love for believers and other people to faith. All these are important to make us established in Christ.
Furthermore, constant fellowship with God and desire for God's word (1Pet 2:2, 1John 1:3) will help to make us grow. This will also ensure that we know God, receive strength for godliness and to grow into the full stature of Christ. Yes, we can be like Christ if we so desire and work daily towards it.
Shalom
