Whose example are we urged to imitate?

Answer

"That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises." Heb.
6: 12.
To obey is better than sacrifice, the Lord bath said;
To hearken when He commandeth, than an offering made.
All ye who say, "There is naught to do since Christ doth save,"
Remember what He commands you in the Book He gave.
Remember only the doers of the Word are blessed;
'Tis well to hear and believe, but to do is best.
F. E. Belden.
