Christlike means more than being similar to Him. We are not to be Christian just in name. We are not to be a pale imitation of Him, but one who has experienced inner transformation. We can have something that comes up from within us that flows out through our finger tips. This world needs more than religion and even popular spirituality. It needs folks who having been conformed to his death, and now radiate His resurrection. Living out Christlikeness through the indwelling Spirit will materialize in a Christlike body on that great resurrection morning.
“Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.” 1 John 3:2-3 (NIV)
