God's design—His divine intent—is for those who are in Jesus to look like Jesus.

Jesus was and is the enemy of dead religion.

Jesus did not only communicate ideas and concepts and rules and principles for living. He lived. And by living with his disciples, he showed them what life was supposed to look like, what God had intended it to look like. It was not merely intellectual or merely spiritual.
