Examples of Living Faith

“Now these things became our examples . . .” (1 Corinthians 10:6).

We are fascinated by the stories of other people. People like to hear other people’s reactions to challenges and tribulations. This is obvious when we notice the enormous appeal of inspirational magazines and newspaper stories. When we learn how other people have succeeded, we are encouraged that we can triumph as well. Because God inspired the Scriptures so “that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17), we should regularly study His Word, the Bible.
