1st) When you were younger, did someone tell you to be like someone and if so, who was that? 2nd) Now, if you had received that challenge, what was special about that person? Was it on athletic skills, or aspects of character or of success or what? 3rd) With those thoughts now in your head – did you embrace or try to pursue those or were those words 'in one ear and out the other'?

For we know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. -Romans 6:6
