Be An Example To All Believers
In What You Say,
In The Way You Live, In Your Love, Your Faith, And Your Purity.
Scripture
1 Timothy 4
8 “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”
9 This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it. 10 This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.
11 Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them. 12 Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young.
Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 13 Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.
Observation
The
Apostle Paul’s instruction to young Timothy is for you and me too! Let me
rephrase them a little bit:
Be
an example in what we say! Words are important and the way we say them speaks
volumes about our relationship with Jesus!
Be
an example in the way we live – lets cut out the contradictions that keep
people from seeing Jesus in us!
Be
an example in our love – lets be extravagant with our love for our family and
friends today!
Be
an example in our faith – lets trust God 24/7 and especially when things get
tough.
Lets
be an example in our purity – and say no to sexual temptations!
1 Timothy 4
Application
I
will follow Paul’s advice to Timothy. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to be an example to all
believers in what I say, in the way I live, in my love, my faith, and my
purity. Help anyone that may be reading this blog to do the same!
