Followers and Patterns

Followers of GOD
Many a new believer asks “How do I do the work of God?”

Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

Followers of Paul

Paul wrote to the Corinthians
1 Corinthians 4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
To the Galatians who wanted to back to following the LAW.
Galatians 4:12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.
Also to the Philippians he wrote:
Philippians 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
Philippians 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Paul sets the example:
2 Timothy 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
Paul is the example believers are to follow:
2 Thessalonians 3:9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

1 Thessalonians 1:7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
1 Timothy 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

The apostle Peter wrote to his fellow believing Jews:
1 Peter 5:3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.
