BEING A GODLY INFLUENCE FOR OUR FAMILY, BRETHREN, AND THOSE IN THE WORLD. If Everyone Were Like Me

Introduction Every day we either influence or are influenced:  We strive to imitate that which we desire.  Or our behavior is averted because of undesired repercussions. We are to “be influenced” by following good examples or avoid bad ones: 1 Cor. 11:1-2; 1 Cor. 10:1-11

Introduction As a challenge, ask yourself the following that may help you gauge the kind of influence you are on others: “If everyone was like me…”

If Your Family Was More Like You… Would they be more or less inclined to read and study God’s word? Acts 17:11; 2 Tim. 2:15; Heb. 5:12-14 Would they be more or less inclined to pray to our heavenly Father? 1 Thess. 5:17; 1 Tim. 2:1 Would they be more or less spiritually minded? Col. 3:1; Rom. 8:5-10

If Christians Were More Like You… Would they be more or less inclined to worship the Lord? Heb. 10:24-25; Rom. 12:1 Would they be more or less inclined to help others. Cp. 2 Cor. 8; Gal. 6:10 Would they be more or less inclined to spread the gospel. Matt. 28:18-20; 2 Tim. 2:2

Take Heed Being a good influence for our family and brethren is not the goal: glorifying God is! Matt. 5:16 We also need to influence with an heir of humility, not superiority. Cp. Lk. 18:10-14 Ultimately, we influence through love. 1 Cor. 13:1-3 This is the attitude of influence demonstrated by our Savior that we need to have. Phil. 2:5ff

Conclusion Yes, we are influenced everyday both in good and bad ways. The question is, what kind of influence are you?
