Summary
As Christians, we’re instructed to imitate Jesus, right? But is that even possible? Think about it! Jesus was sinless, He performed miracles, and He was God’s beloved Son! So how could we possibly come anywhere close to being like Him?
Well, today’s guest, author Cynthia Heald shares how God Himself makes this possible. Through Scripture, she’ll teach you how God shapes our hearts, motivations, and actions so we’re conformed into His likeness.
Plus, she shares the biggest myths or misconceptions we have when it comes to becoming like Jesus, as well as how to avoid falling into a perfectionist, works-based faith in our attempt to be more like Him.
It’s time to embrace the call to imitate Christ and discover the joy and fulfillment that come from reflecting His character.
