Jesus Alone is Our Model


In Faith - He is the Author and Perfector of our Faith

 In Purity – We should be Pure just as Jesus is Pure

“Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure”…1 John 3:3

In Patience – Consider Him Who endured such opposition from sinful men
“Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart”…Hebrew 12:3

In suffering – Jesus suffered for us leaving us an example. Follow in His steps

“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps”…1 Peter 2:21

In Character – You must walk as Jesus walked

In Brotherly Love – Live a life of love just as Christ loved us

Evangelism

“It is morally impossible to exercise trust in God while there is failure to wait upon Him for guidance and direction. The man who does not learn to wait upon the Lord and have his thoughts molded by Him will never possess that steady purpose and calm trust, which is essential to the exercise of wise influence upon others, in times of crisis and difficulty”. – D.E. Hoste
