Act Like Jesus Study Guide: How Can I Put My Faith into Action?

How to Get Beyond Your New Year’s Resolution 

Remember your last New Year’s resolution? The last time you decided, “That’s it, I’m going to change something”? And then you didn’t? You wanted to see a change happen, you knew what you needed to do, but you couldn’t make it stick. 

We do the same thing with our faith. We want to live more like Jesus lived, but just wanting to and trying harder never seems to work. 

So how do you transport your beliefs as a Christ-follower twelve inches from your head to your heart?  

You practice. You do. You act.  

In Act Like Jesus, Randy Frazee walks us through the spiritual workouts we need every day to develop a lifestyle of loving God and loving others, and learning to act like Jesus. 

To drive beliefs from our head to our heart, the first four practices help us reach up to God: 

• We cement our confidence in God by worshiping him 
• We have a conversation with God by praying 
• We find God’s guidance in the Bible 
• We dedicate our whole lives to God’s purpose 

The last four practices give us ways to reach out to others:  

• We devote ourselves to Biblical community 
• We exercise our spiritual gifts 
• We give away our resources  
• We share our faith out of love for others 

To become like Jesus, our beliefs need to not only inform us but also transform us. It is the practice of reaching up to God and out to others that will drive beliefs from our head to our heart. Act Like Jesus teaches the life-giving spiritual disciplines that will lead us in fulfilling our mission to love God and love our neighbor.
