Suppose on a fine morning an ordinary citizen has been Co opted and raised up to the ministers group of his country! He doesn’t know how to move and behave in that group and also among the ordinary people representing his new position. Now the only thing he can do is to closely watch and imitate what other ministers are doing.
This is exactly what happened to us on a fine morning called Easter; Raised up with Christ and seated with the God head in the super most position!
“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,”
(Ephesians 2:6 NIV)
Now what we can do is just imitate Christ and God by the help of the Holy Spirit. That’s why the Holy Spirit gives us commands to do things in Christ standard.
Imitate God, love in Christ’s standard .
“Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.”
(Ephesians 5:1-2 NKJV)
Forgive in God’s standard
“And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
(Ephesians 4:32 NKJV)
Endure in Christ’s standard
“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example,that you should follow in his steps.”
(1 Peter 2:21 NIV)
Wow! God sees me in His standard!!
