Perhaps we should no longer assume that everyone understands that the followers of Jesus will live in a way that reflects the character, commitments and passions of Jesus. The Church is the visible reflection of the heart of the Lord. As we walk in oneness with Him, He will live out His life through us as individuals. When we live in harmony with each other as believers, there is an even greater level of the revelation of the nature and purpose of God through us. Simply put, we should look like our Heavenly Father. What might that appear as in a local church where everyone was committed to owning the family resemblance? This message helps us to discern what a healthy spiritual family can look like. Our spiritual DNA is inseparable from the nature of God. As we live in humble trust, the world around us will be able to see who God is and what He is like.
