Being Christlike means I must love

At 86 years of age, in his final sermon, John Stott concluded: "Christlikeness is the will of God for the people of God." To support this he used Romans 8:29 that God predestined His people to be conformed to the image of His Son. And I John 2:6: "He who abides in Christ ought to walk in the same way as He walked." Also, Philippians 2:5, "have this mind among yourselves, which was in Christ." And finally, Ephesians 5:2, "walk in love as Christ loved us and gave Himself up as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Being like Christ is abiding in Him. It is walking the way He walked, looking up to His Father the way He did. Being like Christ means I must love.
