Day 1- SELF-CONTROL

Read Titus 2:6-7
What are you to urge those younger than you to do?
Why is the example of self-control important for your peers?
What value does self-control have as a part of your character?
Has anyone been an example of self-control to you? What did you learn from them?
In what ways can you be an example of self-control?

MEMORIZE IT.

“Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.”
– 1 John 3:18

Day 2- HONORABLE

Read 1 Peter 2:12
How are you to keep your conduct? Why does God ask you to do this?
Read John 15:18
As a believer, why are people against you? Are evil doers are God’s enemies?
Do you understand why they are your enemies, too?
Honorable conduct doesn’t keep you from having run-ins with evildoers. It gives purpose to why you might have an encounter with someone who opposed God. God doesn’t want you to give your enemies a reason to oppose you. Yes, the gospel message can be offensive but that does not mean the actions of the messenger need to be offensive.
Read Philippians 4:8
What are the ways that you can set yourself up to do honorable things?

Day 3- DON’T BE ENTICED

Read Proverbs 24:1-2
What does God ask you not to do?
Read Romans 6:23
What do you earn for sinning?
Read Isaiah 59:2
What does sin do to you?
Read Isaiah 13:11
What will God do to sin and evil?
Do you believe God is trying to protect you?
Do you believe Satan wants to lure you out from under God’s umbrella of protection?
After all you have read, does sin look more fun and enticing?

Day 4- PAUL’S EXAMPLE

Read 1 Corinthians 11:1
In his letter to the believers in Corinth, what does Paul ask them to do?
What will Paul be doing when they follow him?
Read Philippians 3:17. What does Paul ask the church in Philippi to do?
Read John 13:15. What does Jesus say to His disciples?
Paul wasn’t prideful, he just knew that people needed an example. He was doing just what his Savior had done when he was on earth with His disciples. Asking people to watch you live out your faith is a huge responsibility, but it is the most impacting way you can serve another person. How can you be an example?

Day 5- SET YOUR EYES ON CHRIST

Read 2 Corinthians 12:9. What does God’s power do within you?
Read Luke 10:27. What comes before loving your neighbor?
Read Matthew 6:33. Who should you seek first? What will follow when you do?
Being an example in all you do can be overwhelming, but God is there to give you strength. Remember that if you are focused on Jesus, it will come naturally.
