In Spirit of the Disciplines," Dallas Willard asks, "Why is it that we look upon our salvation as a moment that began our religious life instead of the daily life we receive from God?" pg. 29

Christ learned obedience and we must too. This implies it won't just happen, we have to be attentive and make choices to obey.

...we can become like Christ by doing one thing--by following Him in the overall style of life He chose for Himself. pg. IX

The secret of the easy yoke, then, is to learn from Christ how to live our total lives, how to invest all our time and our energies of mind and body as he did. pg. 9

...spiritual growth and vitality stem from what we actually do with our lives, from the habits we form, and from the character that results. pg. 21

So what am I doing to learn to live daily as He did?
