We become like Christ as we come to know the Father

We are in Christ and that we become like Christ exactly to the extent that we experience God as Christ himself experienced him, that is, as a loving, affirming, and liberating Father. It is, therefore, by knowing the Father and by experiencing the Father’s love that we become one with Christ. . . . to experience truly the Father’s love is to be able, in Christ, to love those whom one could never love by one’s own ability.
