William Penn's quote "To be like Christ is to be a Christian" is a suggestion of the value of living a life that is in line with the mentors of Jesus Christ. It is a suggestion that being a Christian is not practically attending church services or following particular spiritual rituals, however rather it is about living a life that remains in line with the teachings of Jesus. To be like Christ is to be modest, caring, and flexible. It is to be a peacemaker and to reveal empathy and mercy to those in need. It is to be a servant to others and to put the needs of others prior to our own. To be like Christ is to be a Christian is a pointer that we must make every effort to live a life that is in line with the mentors of Jesus and to be an example of His love and grace to those around us.
