Discipleship is Imitation

Who are you like? Who do you emulate and pattern your life after?

We become like those we imitate. Who we spend time with and who we listen to shapes our thinking, our speaking, and our actions. Discipleship is imitation.

The Apostle Paul wrote the church in Ephesus, encouraging them in their spiritual growth, saying, “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.” (Ephesians 5:1, ESV).

If we are going to be disciples of God, we must be imitators of God as his loved children. We become more like who we are supposed to be and more like God as we emulate him in our lives.

May we be disciples of God as we imitate God in our lives and live for him and like him as his beloved children.

A Collect for Guidance: “Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
