Christlikeness is a Christian term that is more often said than understood, and more often mentioned than lived. It is a powerful word in a sense that it encapsulates various Christian elements or attributes, and summarises them all in one word. Despite its succinctness, Christlikeness has also become one of the most misused, misinterpreted and mispreached subject from church pulpits - a term that is powerful has turned not more than just a Christian jargon.
Christlikeness is a God-designed roadmap for His people - a timeless and all-the-time relevant roadmap that unfailingly keeps them on track and well within His purpose and will. As a roadmap, Christlikeness accurately navigates them from where they are (or have been) to the ultimate God-purposed destination.
In the absence of Christlikeness, Christians are no more than religious people, faithful adopters of Jesus' brand, and devout members or activists of Christian church. They can potentially be the busiest supporters and defenders of their Christian religion, but they certainly will not arrive well at the destination.
Essentially, Christlikeness is the core calling of Christianity - nothing less and nothing more.
