Example

How am I supposed to live as a believer?

God’s Response

Be an example to all believers in what you teach, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

We should be decent and true in everything we do, so that everyone can approve of our behavior. Don’t participate in wild parties and getting drunk, or in adultery and immoral living, or in fighting and jealousy. Romans 13:13

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; serve me faithfully and live a blameless life.” Genesis 17:1

God gave Abram two clear goals for living that apply to us as well: Serve God faithfully and live a blameless life. Both of these goals have a lot to do with our motives. God knows that we are sinners (the Bible points out several of Abram’s sins). But if, as believers, our heart’s desire is to faithfully obey God and avoid sin to the best of our ability, God will be pleased.

God’s Challenge

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Romans 12:2
