“And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching.” v.7
We kind of example are you? We often know what kind of example should be and want to be, but sometimes the everyday things keep us from being that type of example. Regardless, we are living examples of something. Being an example of what it means to be a Christ Follower is a privilege, but it also comes with a high responsibility. People are making judgments about Jesus by looking at our life as an example of what it means to be a Christ Follower!
Just like a mirror reflects whatever is put in front of it, our life should reflect the changes Christ has made in us. We will never be the example to others we need to be, and the example they need us to be, until we allow God to have complete control of the day-today and spend time with him consistently. It’s gonna take work, but if we are going to be the example we are called to be its time to man up, stop making excuses and get serious about the things of God, so you will be an example to anyone that see’s you from a distance, or get to know you personally!
Today, determine in your heart to be the kind of example worthy of the name of Christ! Don’t settle for being good enough, but challenge others to live for Him boldly by your genuine, authentic, and transparent example!
