Job 34; 1 Corinthians 4; 1 Corinthians 5; 1 Corinthians 6
So
I Urge You
To Imitate Me.
Scripture
16 So I urge you to imitate me.
Observation
My goal in life should be to live life in such a way that
others could imitate me! I would love to be able to say like the Apostle Paul,
“Imitate me.”
The Apostle Paul was not perfect. He was still a sinner
yet he could say, “So I urge you to imitate me.”
I look up to quite a few people. Some of our faithful 80
year olds who have invested their lives in our church are my heroes. I admire
them for their faith. I admire how they support our pastoral leadership no
matter what we change on them.
Some of our newest Christians at church amaze me with
their faith and their zeal for the Lord. They are so excited about their faith!
They are so excited about Jesus and their relationship with Him.
But these new Christians need someone to look up to that
can help them in the areas where they are still struggling. You and I if we are
living godly lives can be the folks that these new Christians can imitate.
People are watching us! Are we living in such a way that
by imitating us they are drawn closer to Jesus Christ?
Application
I will ask God to take away anything in my life that is a
distraction from following Him.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me be able to live a godly life so that I can say to those in our
church, “So I urge you to imitate me.” Don’t let me do stupid sins that would
cause me to lose my testimony and my influence for You. Protect me and help me
be the example that You want me to be. I pray for those who need to run from sexual sin. Give them the strength to be able to
turn from sin and turn to You.
