Try loving those around you, including your enemies. The book says that Jesus told his disciples to love one another as He has loved them! If you love, then you are free of all of man's laws. There are no laws on how much or how little to love. Within love there isn't war, theft, lies, false accusations, adultery, murder, greed, hatred or loneliness. Within love, you become Christ Like.

To be Christ-like, in my opinion, would en tale showing love and compassion for your fellow humankind. While Christ is the Son of God, and the Savior, He was first a human being. He taught many things that are still taught today in both the Christian churches and in secular realms such as public schools. I'm sure you know the Golden Rule: "Do unto others and you would have them do unto you." This rule has been taught to children for many generations and came straight from the lips of Jesus Christ Himself. In summary, being Christ-like is to be a genuinely loving and compassionate person to EVERYONE regardless of who they are or what they believe.

John 17:3,5,24; For this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent.
John 3:13-17; For God so love the world that he gave his son. that who so ever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasing life,
1Cor.2:9; It has not entered the heart of any man, the things God has prepared for those who love him.
Love the LORD thy God and know that he sent a savior to show us how to love the God and Father that loves us.
Matt.22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Matt.22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Matt.22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matt.22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matt.28:19,20; Jesus was up early in the morning to learn as a child, to teach as an adult.We have to learn first, no matter how long it takes, be dedicated and teach next and let [a choice],other do the same.
Rev.3:12; Jesus will have a new name, he will be a son as others are. his Fathers name will stay the same, he says for us to pray to his Father, Psm.83:18; in his name John 16:23; And he gives us the Lord's prayer, saying hallowed be thy name, and Jesus is taking us to God's kingdom.

I think it is quite simple: To live every moment of your life for the sole purpose of bringing glory to God and pleasing Him.
I think most Christians understand this, but we often have a difficult time articulating this. This is why sometimes Christians have a difficult time with questions like, "If we are supposed to be Christ like, why aren't we supposed to _________ like He did?"
The point is living your life solely for God. God no longer requires us to keep the Mosaic Law, but He did require that of Jesus. Does this mean we are not being Christ like by not obeying the Law? No. When we ask, "What Would Jesus Do?" we are asking, "What does God desire of me at this moment?"
To please God by glorifying Him in all we say, think, and do, that is the very essence of being Christ like.

It means you can't be your own person and you're trying to copy Christ's style. Leave him alone, he was a pimp in his days. Get your own style
