Topic: Who Is Your Role Model? – Part 2

Bible Reading: 3 John 1:9-11 (KJV)

9I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

10Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

11Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

KEY VERSE: “Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.” 3 John 1:11

Message

A role model is a person who someone admires and whose behaviour is copied. Role models can either be good or bad. Unknown to Doris, she started to talk and exhibit the bad characters of her role model—the worldly popular musician she admires and often listens to. Although Diotrephes in our Bible passage was a leader who had influence, he was a bad example. His heart was not right and he did not walk in truth. Apostle John had to warn friends of Jesus not to copy him.

Who do you admire and have taken as your role model? Good models should be those that are good examples of believers in word, conversation, charity, spirit, faith, and purity. (1 Timothy 4:12) Jesus is the true and perfect Role Model. Surrender your heart to Him, love Him, read, meditate on His words, and obey them.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Dear Father, I give my heart to You. Help me to daily love, obey Jesus, and grow to be more like Him.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
