Dear friends, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example.Philippians 3:17 Paul told the young Christians in the church at Philippi to watch how he lived the Christian life and do the same. He knew how important it was for those eager young believers to have a model. This does not mean we should proudly set ourselves apart, put ourselves on pedestals, or pretend we are something special. Always remember that even the great apostle Paul did not count himself to have arrived at perfection (Philippians 3:13). We are to be models of growth, not models of perfection. That is the key! Paul draws attention to other unknown, godly people and says, “learn from those who follow our example.” Could Paul point us out as a model for younger Christians? Could you and I ask others to join in following our example?
