As believers seek to deepen their walk with God, they are called to become more like Christ. According to 1 John 2:6, those who claim to abide in Him must walk as He walked, demonstrating a life of obedience and love. This transformation is made possible through the power of the Holy Spirit, as seen in Galatians 2:20, where Paul describes his own life as being crucified with Christ. The process of becoming like Christ is also described in Romans 12:1-2, where believers are urged to present themselves as living sacrifices, and in 2 Corinthians 3:18, where they are transformed into His image by the Spirit's work. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are created in Christ for good works, which we are to walk in, growing more like Him each day.
