How To Cultivate Christ-Like Character

TEXT: Phil. 2:5-13

INTRODUCTION

The only way we can affect our generation is to begin to show them practical love - Now.

HAVING THE MIND OF CHRIST

• We may do all we can and do all we think but the greatest thing is doing it according to Christ desire and pattern. Phil. 2:5
• The gospel is changing from what Christ says to what we think and how they do it. Nothing kills like self. Phil. 3:13-21
• Humility has not lost the quality reward, it offers to those who follow Christ with humble spirit. Phil. 3:8-12

ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN INDEED

• Christian is seen much in doing than in saying. Matt. 23:27-28
• Christ came to do. He came to show by doing. Matt. 23:5-12
• The quality of a tree is seen in the fruit while the beauty is seen on the leaves. Leaves can be beautiful, if they don't produce, fruits do. John 15:1-8
• Let the life of Christ posses your ways and action. John 15:14-16

CHRISTLIKE OR SELFLIKE

• The greatest character that portrays Christ in us is our practical love to one another and our care to the world. John 15:12-13
• Love is not what we say, it is what we do - we practice it so that others will see and follow - it is very clear that Jesus came to show us love. John 13:13-21, 26-27 (Satan entered into him - He gave Satan open door to enter - Remember he was not happy when Mary blessed Jesus.) John 12:3-8, Matt. 26:6
