There are three activities that help you internalize and live by his Word:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Accept the authority of his Word. <\/strong>God\u2019s word is an unfailingly reliable standard.<strong> <\/strong>When making decisions or examining your behavior, always ask yourself: \u201cWhat does the Bible tell me to do?\u201d Whatever God\u2019s Word instructs, you must do with full faith in his authority.<\/li><li><strong>Fill your mind with his Word. <\/strong>Living by God\u2019s Word becomes easier when it\u2019s always ready to use in your mind. To do this, read the Bible regularly, memorize Scripture, and engage with the text by writing down your questions and observations.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Apply the lessons of his Word. <\/strong>Each time you read and study God\u2019s Word, think about the lesson in it. Then, create a practical plan to use the lesson in your life. For example, if you read the story of the Good Samaritan, you might make a plan to help someone you don\u2019t know within the next week.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tool #2: People<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>God uses other people to develop a Christ-like character in you. God wants you to grow <em>with<\/em> others, for two reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Other people serve as a support system: They encourage you to make the right choices, help you understand God\u2019s Word in new ways, and share ideas for implementing his lessons in your life.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Other people are imperfect: When others irritate you or challenge your patience, you face a test of character\u2014will you choose to act like Jesus? Every time you respond with patience and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-truth-about-love\/\">unselfish love<\/a> in these moments, your character becomes more Christ-like.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tool #3: Circumstances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you always lived in your comfort zone, you would never learn about enduring pain, taking on seemingly insurmountable challenges, or stretching the limits of your faith. <strong>God puts difficult circumstances in your way because they strengthen your character, <\/strong><strong><em>but only if you respond as Jesus would<\/em><\/strong>\u2014that is, you remember that God is acting in your best interest, you give thanks for the opportunity to grow, and you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-push-through\/\">keep pushing through<\/a> your circumstances instead of giving up or turning away from God.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tool #4: Temptation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>God actually uses temptation to develop your Christ-like character. God will put you in situations where you\u2019ll want to act in <em>direct opposition<\/em> to the qualities Jesus possessed, such as love, patience, faithfulness, and self-control. When you make the choice to stick to Christ-like qualities in these situations, your Christ-like character strengthens. <strong>The <em>choice<\/em> in these situations is crucial, because your character is like a muscle\u2014it needs resistance to develop and strengthen.&nbsp;<\/strong>For example, you don\u2019t develop your integrity while taking an exam in a supervised setting, as there\u2019s no opportunity for you to cheat. You <em>do <\/em>develop your integrity when you\u2019re trusted to take an unsupervised exam and have the opportunity to check your answers against your textbook but choose not to cheat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you form a Christ-like character?
