“Imitate Their Faith”

3. In essence, what did the apostle Paul say at Hebrews 13:7, raising what question?

³ Applying the counsel Paul gave the Hebrews will enable us to offer acceptable sacrifices to our Great Helper, Jehovah God. For instance, the apostle wrote: “Remember those who are taking the lead among you, who have spoken the word of God to you, and as you contemplate how their conduct turns out imitate their faith.” (Hebrews 13:7)

So Timothy could contemplate how the conduct of those taking the lead turned out and was able to imitate their faith.

6. Whose faith should we imitate, but whom do we follow?

⁶ Such individuals as Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Rahab, and Moses exercised faith. (Hebrews 11:1-40) Thus, we can imitate their faith without hesitation because they died loyal to God. But we can also ‘imitate the faith’ of loyal men now taking the lead among us.
