The Mirror Principle
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth
therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this
man shall be blessed in his deed (James 1:25).
As Christians, we're called to live and act like God. "How is that
possible?" You might want to ask! This has been made possible through
the mirror principle of the Word.
The Word of God is the mirror of God.
The Bible says anyone who hears the Word and doesn't act accordingly is
like a man who sees himself in a mirror, turns around and forgets what
he looks like (James 1:23-24). In other words, God expects you to hear
His Word and do what it says. The problem, however, is that many don't
know how to do the Word of God.
Now, the mirror principle of the Word is that you see yourself as what
God sees you to be in His Word, and then act accordingly. It simply
means acting the Word. For instance, in the Word, the mirror of God, He
says, you're a new creation in Christ Jesus. That is God's image and
reflection of you. See that image and endorse it. Act like it's true;
for it's true. Again, He shows you in the Word that you're the
righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; see it so. That's His image of
you.
Seeing yourself in the Word, the mirror of God, and acting accordingly
is the way to live in the reality of your inheritance in Christ. That's
how to enjoy all that God has made available to you in Christ Jesus. So
keep looking into the mirror of God; keep studying and listening to the
Word of God. As you do, you'll be transfigured to become more and more
like the glory you see in the Word. This is the mirror principle of the
Word.
