In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus. PHILIPPIANS 2:5 It’s dangerous to sum up grand truths in one statement, but I’m going to try. If a sentence or two could capture God’s desire for each of us, it might read like this: God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus. God loves you just the way you are. If you think his love for you would be stronger if your faith were, you are wrong.
