Purpose

How can you become more like the Savior? One way is to focus on developing Christlike attributes. Learn about Him and practice living the way He lived. Be patient with yourself in this process—it is a lifelong pursuit.

Goal Description

Learn about and live like Jesus Christ.

Goal Ideas

  • Prayerfully study passages of scripture about the attributes of Christ. You could also watch the video “Christlike Attributes.” Keep a journal of what you are learning about the details of His life—how He lived, challenges He faced, the way He interacted with others, and so forth.

  • Take this quiz to identify Christlike attributes you would like to work on.

  • Choose one attribute of Christ and practice it with your friends and family. As guided by the Holy Ghost, repeat this process with other attributes.

  • Elder David A. Bednar taught that “the enabling power of the Atonement strengthens us to do and be good and to serve beyond our own individual desire and natural capacity” (“The Atonement and the Journey of Mortality,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2012, 12–19). Study the scriptures and general conference talks to learn how the Atonement of Jesus Christ can help you develop Christlike attributes.

  • Look for examples of Christlike attributes in people all around you. Take a photo or write down something to remind you of seeing someone demonstrate a Christlike attribute.

  • Create your own goal.
