Remembering the children of God..

Hebrews 13:7

Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.

The children of God who walked before us did so many miracles through the power of the Holy Spirit. When we remember their works we are strengthen our own faith because we are reminded that God made it possible for them which means that he is able to make it possible for us. However its not only about remembering heir works but it is also about following their footsteps and being faithful to God as they were. Choosing role models who are faithful to God can draw you nearer to Him because you would be following the path of the righteous rather than choosing role models who have no relationship with Him.

When we have role models we learn from them by example which is one of the best ways of learning because we are not only told how to handle hard situations but we can practically see from them how these situations should be handled. There are so many lessons we can learn from our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. We can learn lessons such as the gifts of the Holy Spirit, honesty, love, endurance, faith, forgiveness and many more. Yes we are allowed to learn from their mistakes and strengths let us not make them our gods.
