Speaker: Annie Poonen Title: O To Be Like Jesus Date: 02/28/2021 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The central goal for Christians is to become an exact reflection of Jesus Christ. This transformation must happen both individually through personal purity and corporately by functioning fully within the local church. The message emphasizes drawing strength from the Holy Spirit to achieve this likeness to Christ.

Finding words through a hymnWhen we struggle to find words in prayer, hymns can help express the deep feelings of our hearts toward the Lord.

O to be like JesusThe speaker shares her connection to the song O To Be Like Jesus, expressing it as the core cry of her heart.

Created in His imageGod originally created mankind in His own image, but sin marred that image within us.

A life full of compassionWhen Christ's image is formed in us, we become filled with compassion, forgiveness, and love for our families and others.

Seeking the lost and helplessJust as Jesus sought the wandering sinner, believers are called to help the helpless and show God's love.

Holy, harmless, and humbleWe are called to be holy, harmless, humble, and patient just like the King of kings who was willing to suffer.

Transformed by the Holy SpiritWe cannot achieve this on our own, but the Holy Spirit changes our lives and makes us pleasing to the Lord.
