Living like Christ

There is a common misconception that "being like Jesus" means only that we are to do unto others as I would have them do to me. To pursue Christ-like behavior means to flee from temptation to sin. Jesus was without sin. Satan tempted him in every way imaginiable. When he was tempted, what did he do?  He threw scripture back into Satan's face.  Do I know enough truth to be able to dispel the lies that Satan tempts me with?  I know that I fell prey to that lie that I'm only to be nice to other people...and often times still do. I actually start believing that this life is about me...when in reality, if I'm a Christian...it's not. I've been bought with a price. How many times do I forget that? Many.
