1. In Faith – He is the Author and Perfector of our Faith
Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
2. In Purity – We should be pure just as Jesus is pure
1 John 3:3
And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
3. In Patience – consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men.
Hebrews 12:3
For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
4. In Humility – your attitude should be same as that of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:5-11
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
5. In Suffering – Jesus suffered for us leaving us an example. Follow His steps.
1 Peter 2:21
For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
6. In Character – you must walk as Jesus walked.
1 John 2:6
He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
7. In Brotherly Love – live a life of love just as Christ loved us.
Ephesians 5:2
And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
