So right now I’m in the library…i told you guys it’s my second home this semester. I am currently trying to find the power to write a paper that’s due on Wednesday…I just can’t find it though. So I thought I would take a break and write a post. I wanted to share with ya’ll something that we discussed in my Doctrine II class today. We are currently learning about Sanctification in class and my professor began to explain how we are to be imitators of God, Ephesians 5:1. He then started explaining what this looks like, how are we to be imitators of God? We went back to read The prior verses leading up to Ephesians 5. Ephesians 4:31-32 “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Professor Kapic made the comment, “We are never more like God then when we extend forgiveness and grace as God in Christ has done.” I have three stars by that quote in my notes. Wow! It just reminded me of the post I wrote a couple of weeks ago about forgiveness. I think it the word has now taken an even deeper level in me. To think that in forgiving others I am imitating God. I have heard that verse so many times, but has always seemed so big to me. I never even knew where to start. I Peter 2:21 says though, “For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.” Imitating God means imitating Christ and his life as seen in the gospels. It means serving, loving, forgiving. I have the perfect example to follow! Wow! Isn’t that just so exciting to think that God has mirrored himself in Christ so that we might know how to imitate Him. He loves us so dearly! Anyways just wanted to share those thoughts from today’s class…
