How to Be a Man Like Jesus | Walking in Christlike Character

"Whoever says he abides in Him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked." - 1 John 2:6

IntroductionTo be a man like Jesus is to walk in humility, strength, wisdom, and love. Jesus was the perfect example of righteousness, servant-hearted leadership, and unwavering faith. He lived a life of obedience to God, showing kindness to all, standing firm in truth, and demonstrating sacrificial love. Every man who desires to follow Christ’s example must strive to embody His character in every aspect of life.

1. Cultivate a Heart of Humility

Jesus, though fully God, humbled Himself to serve others. Philippians 2:5-7 reminds us to have the same mind as Christ, who took on the form of a servant. A Christlike man does not seek power or recognition, but instead chooses to serve and uplift those around him. Humility is strength under control, not weakness.

2. Walk in Obedience to God

Jesus lived a life of complete obedience to the Father’s will, even unto death on the cross (Luke 22:42). To be a man like Jesus means surrendering your own will to God, seeking His guidance in every decision, and trusting in His perfect plan. Obedience leads to spiritual growth and divine favor.

3. Lead with Love and Compassion

One of Jesus’ most defining traits was His unconditional love for people. He cared for the broken, forgave sinners, and healed the sick. John 13:34-35 tells us that we must love others as Christ has loved us. A true man of God treats his family, friends, and even strangers with kindness, patience, and empathy.

4. Be Strong and Courageous in Faith

Jesus faced trials, rejection, and persecution, yet He never compromised His mission. A Christlike man stands firm in faith, even in adversity. Joshua 1:9 reminds us to be strong and courageous, knowing that God is with us. Spiritual strength is not about dominating others but about trusting in God’s power over every situation.

5. Speak and Live in Truth

Jesus boldly spoke truth, even when it was unpopular. He never wavered in His convictions and always stood for righteousness. As Ephesians 4:15 encourages, we must speak the truth in love and live with integrity. Being a man like Jesus means rejecting compromise, dishonesty, and fear in favor of honesty, righteousness, and faithfulness to God’s Word.

6. Develop a Strong Prayer Life

Jesus often withdrew to pray, seeking intimacy with the Father (Luke 5:16). A Christlike man prioritizes prayer, worship, and time in the Word, knowing that true strength comes from spiritual connection. Through prayer, we receive wisdom, guidance, and supernatural strength to walk in God’s ways.

7. Serve Others Selflessly

Jesus did not come to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45). A man like Jesus is selfless, generous, and willing to put others’ needs before his own. True leadership is found in serving with love, patience, and integrity.

8. Forgive and Show Grace

Jesus forgave even those who crucified Him, showing us that forgiveness is essential to living a godly life (Luke 23:34). A Christlike man does not hold grudges but releases offenses, understanding that grace and mercy are central to the heart of God.

Conclusion: Becoming More Like Christ

Being a man like Jesus is not about perfection but about progress in our walk with God. Through humility, obedience, love, faith, truth, prayer, service, and forgiveness, we grow into men who reflect His light in a dark world. The journey requires daily surrender and transformation through the power of the Holy Spirit.

"Be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." - Ephesians 5:1-2

A man like Jesus i am after Gods heart | Desiderium et Selah | Hallelujah

Embark on a sonic journey of faith with "Pressing Toward the Mark," the new 10-track album from Chris Manning.

This album is a deep dive into the foundational scriptures that guide and strengthen our walk with Christ. Each song, from the anthemic declaration of "The Armor of God" (Ephesians 6:10-18) to the ultimate promise of "All Things New" (Revelation 21:4-5), is crafted to be a personal anthem for your own spiritual journey.

The sound of the album blends an intimate, worship-forward core with sweeping cinematic and atmospheric textures. It’s music designed for both personal reflection and corporate praise, created to lift your spirit and ground your soul in the unshakable truth of God's Word.

My prayer is that these songs meet you wherever you are, offering strength for the struggle and hope for the road ahead. Let this be a soundtrack for pressing toward the mark of the high calling.

Blessings,
Chris Manning
