Instruct or Imitate

Posted on December 11, 2020 by Catey Stover in Victory Call

“For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Therefore I urge you, imitate me. ” 1 Corinthians 4:15-16

There is a distinction between those that instruct the truth and those that reveal the truth. There is a distinction between those that teach others and those that lead others. There is a distinction between those that tell others and those that show others. There is a distinction between those that explain and those that express. Are we telling others the truth or are we living the truth? Are we instructing others in the gospel or are we imitating the gospel? Father, give me the genuine depth of relationship with You that exudes from my life so that to the degree that I imitate Christ, others will imitate Christ as we together love and follow You.
