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 Become ye, therefore, imitators of God, as children beloved,
5 The same thing, esteem, in yourselves, which also, in Christ Jesus, ,6 Who, in form of God, subsisting, not, a thing to be seized, accounted the being equal with God,7 But, himself, emptied, taking, a servants form, coming to be, in mens likeness;8 And, in fashion, being found, as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient as far as death, yea, death upon a cross.
1 Become imitators of me,even as, I also, of Christ.
6 And, ye, became, imitators of us, and of the Lord, giving welcome unto the word, in much tribulation, with joy of 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 And God saidLet us make man in our image after our likenessand let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the bird of the heavens and over the tame-beastand over all the land, and over every creeping thing, that creepeth on the land.
24 God is, spirit; and, they that worship him, in spirit and truth, must needs worship.
