I want to be like Christ

In early nines " I want to be like Mike", was the phrase of the day.
For Christians the phrase of each and everyday should be  " I want bo like Christ".

"But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner
of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." 1
Peter 1:15-16
Scripture admonishes us as Christians to be like our Lord and Savior
in "all manner of conversation," or all manner of life. We are His
earthly witnesses, and we must so order our lives that we are an
adequate reflection of Him.

We are to be like Him in the purity of our lives. As our text points
out, "Be ye holy; for I am holy." "Every man that hath this hope in
him purifieth himself, even as he is pure" (1 John 3:3). "Follow . . .
holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14).

Our daily walk and lives should be patterned after Him. "He that saith
he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked" 1
John 2:6. "If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
fellowship one with another" 1 John 1:7.

Furthermore, we are to be like Him in love. "Beloved, let us love one
another: for love is of God . . . for God is love" 1 John 4:7-8. We
are to be willing to suffer unjustly without revenge, "because Christ
also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his
steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth" 1 Peter
2:21-22.

Being like Him involves a life of service, as well. "If I then, your
Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one
another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as
I have done to you" John 13:14-15.

Christ has forgiven each of us many times, even though our sins grieve
Him deeply. He stands ready to forgive and restore fellowship, and so
should we. With His help, we can emulate Him, even when we are
wronged. "Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you" Ephesians
4:32.

Do you want to be more like Christ?
Are you know by the works and the love that you have for others?
Yet we put on the identity of one who is like Christ, which is the Christian.
Are we really like Christ?
