GOOD EXAMPLES
Thank God for every good example we come across. They could be examples we find written in the Scriptures. They could be people who are alive and they have made a positive impact on our lives. We may be wonderfully blessed by their exemplary lives!
BEHIND EVERY GOOD EXAMPLE
What makes a person’s life such a blessing? The Apostle Paul highlighted two things in the following text.
So now, brethren, I commend you to God
And to the word of His grace,
Which is able to build you up
And give you an inheritance among all those
Who are sanctified. Acts 20:32
1. God
a) He is the Person who is behind every believer
b) Paul believed with all his heart the power that God has
c) God in Paul’s life:
i) God saved him
ii) The Lord taught him
iii) He led each and every step of the way
iv) He empowered
v) He transformed
d) We need to deepen the following:
i) Our knowledge of God
ii) Our faith in God
iii) Our experience with God
iv) Our trust in Him
2. The word of His grace
a) God’s word is His special instrument of grace
b) His word of grace:
i) It is able to build us up
ii) It is able to help us understand and appropriate our spiritual inheritance!
c) Our sanctification
i) This is a continuing work of the Holy Spirit
ii) This is a work that helps us desire to live for the Lord dedicatedly
Let us aspire to be good examples for others! Let us seek the Lord and His word of grace even more!
