The Wisdom of God is not trying to "make" sinners into saints by effort and determination. Instead, God imparts new life into the believer so that the qualities of holiness of Jesus are now resident in the believer. Just as Jesus loved, was long suffering, submitted to the Father; these qualities too can be found in the believer. It is not imitation, but impartation. Imitation is to use Jesus as our example. Impartation means we are heir to His qualities so that the Father can receive us as Children of God.
Daily Prayer: Lord, we praise You for Your power and Your wisdom. Create in us a clean heart and a heart that is loved by God and honors Him in service. We pray in the name of the Triune God Amen.
