Kids imitate their parents whether they mean to or not. The phrases, the habits, the gestures... it just happens when you spend enough time with someone.
Paul opens Ephesians 5 with that exact idea. Be imitators of God as dearly loved children.
Not rules to follow. Not a standard to meet. Just a child spending time with their Father and gradually starting to look like Him.
"Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children." — Ephesians 5:1 NLT
