Christlike Attributes

It's best to learn the gospel

By following in Christ's ways

To be like Him is possible

Light comes as one obeys

Christlike Attributes—the Wind Beneath Our Wings

"To follow Christ is to become more like Him. It is to learn from His character. As spirit children of our Heavenly Father, we do have the potential to incorporate Christlike attributes into our life and character.
