John 15:12 "This is My commandment: love one another as I have loved you."
Children are very impressionable when they are young. They take seriously everything they see mommy, daddy, grandma, grandpa, and older siblings do. The older generation sets an example for the younger ones.
So it is with newborn spiritual Christians. They too, are searching for examples to follow. If we (as mature Christians) don't set a proper example then we risk confusing and negatively influencing the younger Christians.
We are part of Jesus' body. He was perfect. Jesus gave us an example of how to Love.
Be careful of what you say and do because there are others watching you. Ask yourself - "Am I doing what Jesus would do?"
Setting a Christian example rather than telling someone what to do proves that God is in charge of your life and that you depend on Him for all things. Actions speak louder than words.
Dear Father let me grow in Love for everyone and not judge nor condemn, but rather be compassionate and forgiving and kind, as You are. Amen
