In Philippians 3:17 Paul encourages his brothers and sisters in Christ to follow his example and the example of others who live like he does - pursuing the goal of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Our lives are called to be examples as well. Although, like Paul, we have not "arrived", still the way we walk with Christ through the circumstances in our lives can be an inspiration to others. May our lives be an example of the beauty and power of life in Him.
