We are called not only to know the Lord but to walk with Him and to live a life that reflects and represents God to the world. As image bearers, we have been created to be like God, to be imitators, of our Father in heaven. In Christ, we have been called and adopted into God's family. As God's children, we are called to show our love for God and others in the same way God loves us. To be imitators of God is to be imitators of Christ.

Sermon Text: Ephesians 5:1-2 Sermon Date: 5/19/2024 Speaker: Corey Deyamport
The only imitation we should be striving for in our life is to imitate Jesus. This means we look like Him in how He loved others. This love was unbelievable to those on the receiving end. This love was unconditional and not based on performance. This love was self-sacrificial and not selfish. The only urge we should give into is the urge to be more like Jesus.

Sermon audio from Liverpool Baptist Church's morning services.
This weekend we conclude our series called "DIVIDED". God has a plan to bring a divided world together and that is through the person of Jesus. Jesus came to forgive and heal a broken world. When we put our faith in Jesus and His work on the cross we are placed by Jesus into His church. The church is really a movement that has been changing the world for over 2000 years. Within this movement are people who need each other and must work together to accomplish a mission. The mission is to share this good news of Jesus with others. In order to accomplish this mission we must follow the instructions given to us in the scriptures. The instructions we have been learning about come from what are called the "One Another" passages in the New Testament. Join us this weekend as we conclude this series with how we help keep each other on mission by working together. For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/48884245

In our text, Paul reveals how our Heavenly Father teaches His children to get along. As Christian parents, we can draw some very good advice from this word of God, but only if we understand that God isn’t speaking to us as parents. He’s speaking to all of us as His children. Just like our children, adult children of God sometimes get along well, sometimes not so well. Not getting along with God's other children is no more acceptable among adult Christians than it is among our children. Our Heavenly Father teaches what "getting along" looks like and then demonstrates it by sending His Son to restore our relationship with Him and with each other.

Imitate means – “follow as a model, copy, simulate”. From the Latin it literally means to “copy an image”. How can we ever hope to imitate God? Christians imitate God like the moon imitates the sun. They don’t have any light of their own, they get their light from the Son. When light is seen in them, it’s the reflection of the light coming from God in Christ. As Christians, our desire is to be the clearest reflection of Him as possible. We know who God is by looking at Jesus: “He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature..." [Heb. 1:3]. Christians reflect God’s character more as we put on Christ more. Christians imitate God because He has adopted them as His beloved children! Ephesians 5:1 is the result of Ephesians 1:5. As God’s people, Christians should be known for reflecting the character traits of their Father. We reflect Him in how we speak to others, how we exercise self-control, how we control our tongue, how we show kindness, and how we forgive. When talking about the love of Jesus, Paul points to the cross. Loving like Christ involves giving ourselves away for the good of another. As we walk in love, we sacrifice for others as a spiritual act of worship [Phil. 4:18]. As we understand Christ’s love for us better and better, we will love others better and better. May our lives be marked by “walking in love”.

God does not want flattery from us. Rather, He wants us to truly be one of His children, reflecting all of His character, especially His love.
Do you have to hide who you really are from others? Can you be your authentic self? God's intention is that His people live as family. Listen as Mike takes us through Ephesians where Paul tells us how to live in relationship with one another.

From the very beginning of Christianity, the earliest believers were known for their extreme love. This God-given love enabled them to boldly declare God’s salvation, even in the face of death. Through Jesus’ example, we quickly see that love is self-sacrificial and always cares for others first. We should be striving to show Jesus’ example of love every day in how we interact with family, our fellow church members, and everyone else we meet.

What we will see today is that instead of walking as the Gentiles walk as Paul said in 4:17, we are to walk like GOD would have us to do.

We will imitate influences on our life. Who do you imitate?
If you are a Christian you are a beloved child of God. It is good and right that God's children grow more and more into the likeness of their Father because there is no greater good than Him.

Be imitators of God.
Our parents have a big impact on who we are and how we act. God adopts us when we are born again. This means that we have the nature to do good and experience the nurture that can help to be the kind of people who make God look good.
People often feel like they are not pleasing to God . . . their behavior, their lack of Bible reading and prayer, or some other decision which they feel judged regarding. Pastor Korsen exposes this corrupt view of God's relationship to humankind and through scripture teaches us how to live in the knowledge that YOU ARE pleasing already to God!

Many are trying to "find" their true selves today which apart from Christ can never be done. God stamped us with HIS identity and HIS DNA. Enjoying life like God enjoys it doesn't come from personal effort to be like God but rather from a revelation of sonship. There's No Need to Find Yourself if You're Lost in Christ!
