1 Thessalonians 1:2-8 KJV We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.

Be Worthy of Imitation The Thessalonians were converted to Christ not only because of the words of Paul and his men but also because of the example of their lives. It is important to remember that the world is watching us as followers of Christ. We have been called to be the salt and light of the earth. Jesus admonished us to let our lights shine brightly before men so that they may praise God for our good works. God's intention is not to give you fame that brings no glory to His name. A life worthy of imitation is one that is surrendered to be used as a tool in the hands of God, to display His awesome power and glory. What do people see when they see you?If someone walked in your shoes for 24 hours, what would they learn about Christ? Living a life worthy of imitation is to be mindful that you are representatives of Christ to those around you. You can only reflect what or who you are facing. You must focus your attention on Christ and imitate Him. Let your words, actions and behaviour emulate the One who calls you His ambassador. Your footprints on the moon should lead the world to your source, your focus and your example; Jesus Christ.
