He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well. — 1 Peter 2:24 | Bible in Basic English (BBE) The Bible in Basic English is in the public domain.

Exercise Faith
Gordon B. Hinckley said, “Faith is like the muscle of my arm. If I use it, if I nurture it, it will grow strong. If I put it in a sling and leave it there, it will grow weak.”
So if faith is a principle of action, how we can act upon it? What are we doing in our lives to exercise it?
Antonina Żabiński, a woman who saved hundreds of Jews by hiding them in Warsaw, Poland, in the midst of World War II. She and her husband gave them refuge at the risk of their own lives.
“As I thought about her story, I thought about how much faith this woman must have had—faith to know that everything would be okay; faith to know that there was a better life out there; faith to know that she was strong enough to help those who could not help themselves,” says Mormon Channel Daily host, Nicole.
In big ways and small ways, we can strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ simply by remembering Him and living a little more like He would.

If you long to be more like Christ, then act like Him, and walk as He walked.

For to this were you called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps, - 1 Peter 2:21-22 | Hebrew Names Version (HNV) The Hebrew Names Version of the Holy Bible is in the public domain.
To be a Christian is not only to believe the teaching of Christ, and to practice it; it is not only to try to follow the pattern and example of Christ; it is to be so vitally related to Christ that His life and His power are working in us. It is to be "in Christ," it is for Christ to be in us.

We must learn to follow a Savior who not only preaches Divine Doctrine, but also washes dirty feet.

Follow Christ’s Example: Speak of Hell
by J.C. Ryle
Settle it firmly in your mind that the Lord Jesus Christ Himself has spoken most plainly about the reality and eternity of hell. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus contains things which should make men tremble. But it does not stand alone. No lips have used so many words to express the awfulness of hell, as the lips of Him who spoke as never man spoke, and who said, “The word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s which sent Me” (John 14:24). Hell, hell fire, the damnation of hell, eternal damnation, the resurrection of damnation, everlasting fire, the place of torment, destruction, outer darkness, the worm that never dies, the fire that is not quenched, the place of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth, everlasting punishment—these are the words which the Lord Jesus Christ Himself employs. Away with the miserable nonsense which people talk in this day, who tell us that the ministers of the gospel should never speak of hell! They only show their own ignorance, or their own dishonesty, when they talk in such a manner. No person can honestly read the four Gospels and fail to see that they who would follow the example of Christ must speak of hell.
Imitators of God: Living a Christ-like Life
Verse: Ephesians 5:1Paul is asking us to be an imitator of God. As children, we imitate our parents. 1 Cor 11:1, we are God's children. We have to imitate what God is. We must walk and talk like God as children walk and talk like their father.
Why Imitating God is Important.
Children represent their houses. Children don't do what they are told to do, but what they observe, they do. If you are a man of integrity and a prayerful woman, then your children will be the same. Our heavenly Father is loving, caring, and gracious, so when we become like him, people know our father. If we don't follow God's word, we misrepresent him.
The Meaning of Being an Imitator of God
The word imitator comes from the Greek word "mimetic" which means mimic means imitating somebody. Paul wants you to talk, walk, and behave like God. We are liars if we preach the word but don't follow it. You must look like God; by watching your behavior and attitude, people will know about God.
God bless you abundantly.
