7.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…

Activity: Becoming more like Christ is a life process. How is it accomplished? You have to take a
hard, honest look at every aspect of your life asking the Holy Spirit to reveal those areas that are not
conformed to His image. Then it takes a strong desire to make some changes. For example, maybe
you lack patience. Confess that as sin and ask God to give you patience (Eph. 4:2). Then day by day,
when you are tempted to get impatient, claim this verse and think about your Savior’s willingness to
be patient with you. Transfer that to others. Go ahead, give it a try!
