Faith Filled People Are Followers

Hebrews 11:39-40 – And these all having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise; God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

To follow means to imitate:
We must study the deeds, acts, words, and actions of the leader we wish to emulate.
We must become good actors that look like God by:
Studying His attributes.
Knowing His character.
And being willing to live out this life of faith.
If you desire to walk in faith find someone who successfully walk in faith:
Watch what they say.
Watch what they do.
How do they act?
Begin to act like them.
Faith believes despite what the natural facts and what others say.
Faith perseveres and endures, it pushes through life’s difficulties and adversities.
Faith fights. It is a fight of faith. It does not give up on the promises of God.
Faith acts. Whatever you believe for you must move in the direction of your belief.

Acting and imitation is foundational to the Christian life.

Who are you acting like?
