Sermos imitadores de Cristo
Ser imitador de Cristo é o chamado supremo do cristão. Paulo exortou: 'Sede meus imitadores, como eu sou de Cristo.' Fomos criados à imagem de Deus para refletir seu caráter.
Imitar a Cristo
Sede imitadores de Deus como filhos amados. Cristo se esvaziou e se humilhou — esse é o padrão que devemos seguir.
Do as God does. After all, you are his dear children.
and think the same way that Christ Jesus thought:
Christ was truly God.
But he did not try to remain
equal with God.
Instead he gave up everything
and became a slave,
when he became
like one of us.
Christ was humble.
He obeyed God and even died
on a cross.
You must follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
So, when you accepted the message, you followed our example and the example of the Lord. You suffered, but the Holy Spirit made you glad.
Criados à imagem de Deus
Deus nos criou à sua imagem e semelhança. Adorar em espírito e verdade é viver refletindo o caráter do Criador.
God said, "Now we will make humans, and they will be like us. We will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living creatures."
God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship him according to the truth.
