"Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith." - Hebrews 13:7
I am very grateful for those amazing people who modelled Christianity for me over the years. This verse urges us to remember them and then to 'consider' (think on) their lives and finally, to imitate their faith.
Someone once suggested that the definition of a Saint is "a person in whom Christ lives again."
In some respects, our Christian role-models have been saints - Christ has lived on in their lives and through their example we have been taught about the ways of Jesus. And for their lives, I am extremely grateful!
Exercise: Think about one person who has shaped your spiritual life. Give thanks to God for them today.
Philippians 1:3 - Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.

(Also good 'role-model' advice/...)
Titus 2:7-8 (BSB) In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works. In your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8 and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed to have nothing bad to say about us.
Amen - thanks Ken
