SET AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS RATHER THAN TELLING THEM WHAT THEY OUGHT TO DO

Children are very impressionable when they are young. They take seriously everything they see mommy, daddy, grandma, grandpa, and older siblings do. The older generation sets an example for the younger ones.

So it is with newborn spiritual Christians. They too, are searching for examples to follow. If we (as mature Christians) don't set a proper example then we risk confusing and negatively influencing the younger Christians.

We are part of Jesus' body. He was perfect. Jesus gave us an example of how to Love.

Be careful of what you say and do because there are others watching you. Ask yourself - "Am I doing what Jesus would do?"

Setting a Christian example rather than telling someone what to do proves that God is in charge of your life and that you depend on Him for all things. Actions speak louder than words.

Luke 6:37 - Don't judge other people, and you will not be judged. Don't accuse others of being guilty, and you will not be accused of being guilty. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

John 13:15 - I did this as an example so that you should do as I have done for you.

I Timothy 4:12 - Do not let anyone treat you as if you are unimportant because you are young. Instead, be an example to the believers with your words, your actions, your Love, your faith, and your pure life.

Prayer:  Dear Father let me grow in Love for everyone and not judge nor condemn, but rather be compassionate and forgiving and kind, as You are. Amen
