Imitate or Emanate Christ? 2..2.2025 The meeting of Grace Christian Church. We meet in person and stream services every Sunday at 10:30 AM EST in Manalapan, New Jersey.
Imitate vs. Emanate
• To Imitate: Copy Christ’s actions outwardly. This often relies on human effort and positive behavior but lacks true inner transformation.
• To Emanate: Allow Christ, who lives within you, to transform and shine through you from the inside out.
The Apostle Paul encourages imitation in verses like Ephesians 5:1 and 1 Corinthians 11:1. However, his focus is not mere external copying but a deeper reflection of Christ’s life through the Spirit working within.
