IMITATORS: Means To Act Like, Look Like, Think Like, Duplicate
Scripture: Ephesians 5:1
Ephesians 5:1 says, “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.” The word for imitators or followers is mi- ma-tace. This word means to act like, look like, think like, duplicate. The English word mimic fits here. We are to let our actions reflect what we believe to be the core values of the One we are imitating. That is what we are supposed to do with God. We act like God, think like God, walk like God and talk like God, because reflecting Him is our assignment. We are to be His reflection and that means being full of God and letting Him fill us. Fullness is our assignment. Here we see it for the fifth time in the fifth chapter of Ephesians. Fullness is born out of relationship. The way we enter in is that we come into relationship with the Father as Jesus did. We talk to Him, and when He speaks, we obey. This is God’s purpose! Our part is to surrender and renew our mind to His truth.
