(James Smith, "Gleams of Grace" 1860)
"Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings." 1 Peter 2:21
To know more of Christ, and be more like Christ--are two of the principal things we have to attend to. In order to this, we must . . .
study God's Word,
be much at God's throne of grace,
depend on the empowerment of the Spirit,
and walk in fellowship with God's people.
We must consider how Jesus lived when here, and often ask, "What would Jesus do in my circumstances?"
Jesus should be our example, the model which we strive to copy every day.
In vain do we profess Christ, if we are not in some measure like Christ!
"He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked." 1 John 2:6
