​

You are my follower. Imitate me. The closer to me you come, the easier you will find it to move as I move, speak as I speak, think as I think. Imitate my actions of care. Imitate my love with no benefit to yourself. Imitate my sacrificial acts to provide for another. Imitate my discipline. Imitate my thankfulness. I know it seems unnatural, but the more you do it, the more natural it becomes. As you move closer to me and remain there, you will find that the desire, ability, and strength to mirror me are established in you. You will also find that I have made you to become an influencer among those around you. Imitate me, therefore, in everything you do, because you are my follower.
 

Ephesians 5:1-4
Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God.
