Growing up as imitators of God
We are continuing our reflection on Ephesians. Ephesians says that God has a plan to restore and reconcile all things in heaven and on earth and has called you and me to participate in this grand reconstruction project. We participate in God’s plan not by simply adhering to legalistic codes, clinging to rigid rules and regulations, but by imitating God in our daily life. Imitating God is our humble response to what God has done, is doing, and will do for us and the world. It requires listening to God’s Spirit and applying what we know of God to every situation. Imitating God requires a great deal of practice. It requires constant, continual growth. Imitating God does not come naturally, which is why we need the support and care of others. The church is the training ground where we learn and grow to become mature Christians.
