LIKE CHRIST (Cont’d) “In (Christ) you also are being BUILT TOGETHER for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:22 (NKJV) PART TWO: “BECOMING LIKE CHRIST” Pastor David Cannistraci | February 21, 2016 “Those whom God had already chosen he also set apart to BECOME LIKE HIS SON…” Romans 8:29 (GNT) The Inspired Life is about the ___________________ of becoming more and more like Christ. BUILDING A LIFE THAT LOOKS LIKE CHRIST 1. There is a perfect _______________________ “For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your EXAMPLE, and you must FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS.” 1 Peter 2:21(NLT) Please be _____________________, God is not _____________________ with me yet. “Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.” 1 John 2:6 (NLT)

3. There is a call to build ____________________ “So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to BUILD EACH OTHER UP.” Romans 14:19 (NLT) You are not just being built, you are a ___________________…of others. “Come as living stones, and LET YOURSELVES BE USED IN BUILDING the spiritual temple, where YOU WILL SERVE as holy priests to offer spiritual and acceptable sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 2:5 (GNT) As a follower of Christ, you have become a _________________. “I’m sure about this: the one who started a good work in you will stay with you to COMPLETE THE JOB by the day of Christ Jesus.” Phil. 1:6 (CEB) FATHER GOD, Thank you for never giving up on me. I’ve lost so much through all the sin, storms and brokenness. But today I turn my life over to you. Lord Jesus, more than anything, I want to be like you. Thank you for rebuilding my life and using it for your purpose. In Christ’s Name, AMEN

2. There is a _______________________ ___________________ “For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, YOU ARE GOD’S BUILDING.” 1 Corinthians 3:9 Stop pushing yourself to instant ________________________. Be thankful for what God has done so far. “Let us keep our EYES FIXED ON JESUS, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. HE DID NOT GIVE UP because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God's throne.” Hebrews 12:2 (GNT)
