Jesus suffered and died on a cross so that we could be set FREE from our old life, our old fate, our old habits and sins. His free grace did not save us so that we should stay the same. God is a new-life-giver! We were made for more than our carnal existence. The word "Christian" was created to describe the 1st century believers. It literally meant "little Christs," because they were so set apart in being imitators and image-bearers of our Savior Jesus Christ. If others were to size us up today, would we be worthy of the name "little Christ"? Let us seek Him every day - not for approval or salvation (because that has been accomplished by the blood of Jesus). Instead, let us seek Him in obedience because He is worthy of our faithfulness and surrender. Let us humbly bow before Him to be transformed into the people He created us to be: sons and daughters who are self-controlled, patient, kind, joyful, and much more! Little Christs.
