"Leaving You An Example, That You Should Follow In HIS Steps."

Our lives should be New Testament 
pages that all can read!

(J.R. Miller)

"Set an example for the believers
in speech, in life, in love, in faith
and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12

"In everything set them an example 
by doing what is good." Titus 2:7

"Wives, in the same way be submissive
to your husbands, so that if any of them
do not believe the Word, they may be won
over without words by the behavior of their
 wives, when they see the purity and 
reverence of your lives." 1 Peter 3:1-2

Unbelievers do not read the Bible,

nor come to church to hear the gospel

message. All that they learn about

CHRIST and the Christian life--

they must learn from those

who bear CHRIST'S name

and represent HIM--

as they view our character.

If all church members lived

truly consecrated lives--

holy, humble, separate from

the world, loyal to CHRIST

in business, in pleasure,

and in all things--

it would be impossible

to estimate what the influence

of the Church would be, by

godly example alone.

It is awful to think that professing 

Christians, by the inconsistencies 

of their personal lives, lead souls

away from the SAVIOR. We are all

responsible for our example to others.

Our lives should be New Testament 

pages that all can read!

"For I have given you an example, 
that you should do as I have done 
to you." John 13:15

"Leaving you an example, that you 
should follow in HIS steps." 1 Peter 2:21
