Going in the Same Direction…

If you want to know God, then know Jesus. It’s that simple. Pursuing God means reading His Word. Pursuing God means studying the life of Jesus. Knowing God comes from Him revealing more of Himself to us when we fully dedicate our 100%, undivided attention onto Him. If Jesus was our example of how to live, then why are we not emulating Him more? If the Bible tells us to be like Christ Jesus, wouldn’t it make sense to pattern our behavior like the behavior He displayed throughout His lifetime? To know Jesus is to know God. It’s clear. It’s just not easy when we try to live with one foot in this world, and the other foot marching toward Heaven. Unity is the key. We must get our body and mind going in the same direction, or we will stagnate moving but still staying in the same spot. Our position in Christ is secure, it’s our practice (walk) that needs to live up to this position. When we imitate Christ, the closer we come to meeting this goal.

3 The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and He sustains everything by the mighty power of His command. When He had cleansed us from our sins, He sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. 4 This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave Him is greater than their names. Hebrews 1:3-4
