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.
1 Therefore imitate God like beloved children.
5 Have this attitude mind-setunderstandingmental state in you that was also in Christ Jesus.6 He existed in the form shape and nature of God but did not try to be equal with God. He did not even consider it!7 He emptied humbled himself by taking the form of a servant. He was made in the likeness of men.8 He obtained the appearance as a man, humbled himself, and became obedient even to death, yes, death on the stake.
1 Be followers imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
6 You imitated the Lord and us, even though you suffered much affliction. Yet you received the word with the joy that comes from the Holy Spirit.
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.
26 Then God said: »Let us make man in our image, in our likeness. Let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground.«
24 »God is a Spirit. They who worship him must worship him with spirit and truth.«
