     We are reminded that we are followers of God. To be a follower of God means that we are “imitators” of God. God sees us
as His dear children who imitate Him. That means using His Word and submitting to His Holy Spirit to imitate Him in all truth.
When we do this we live and behave in love, agape love. We are required to put all unrighteous and unclean living and behavior
away from us. We are called to holiness as God is holy. If there is any sin and uncleanness in the Body of Christ each of us is
required to address it and get rid of it. We cannot tolerate sin within the Body of Christ, within His Church. Even if others in the
world are involved in and accepting sinful behaviors, we cannot. If everyone is sinning and going to hell, should we do it too?
NO!!
Always make the choice to be holy and pleasing to God, as we imitate God.
