Who Am I Becoming

For a Christian, the answer to that question is same as the answer toWhat is my purposeOrWhat's my ultimate goal in lifeThe answer is:

To be like Jesus.

God's passion is to cultivate thevirtuesof Jesus in our lives so we become like him. The Bible calls these virtues "fruit." Like the fruit on a tree, the fruit of our life can be seen and tasted by those around us. For people to know who you are andwhoseyou are, they start by tasting the fruit that is evident in your life.

What kind of fruit are you bearing

InBe Like Jesus,Randy Frazee reveals how we must remain in community with Christ so that the fruit we bear tastesgood to others and points people to Jesus.

Thefirst five fruits, or virtues, that God plants in our hearts are moreinwardin nature:

• Lovefor God and others
• Inner contentmentdespite my circumstances
• Peacewith God, with others, and with myself
• Self-controlthrough God-control
• Hopein Jesus Christ

The last three virtues are moreoutward:

• Patientendurance under pressure
• Faithfulnessto God and others
• Gentlenessin my dealings with others

Learn to abide in the presence of Jesus on a daily basis, through his Word, and to rely on the Spirit to show you how to grow sweeter fruit that will bring more people to Christ. In this way, you will become the person God wants you tobe, a person who is more and more like Jesus every day.
