We as believers are instructed to "walk in the light, like He is in the light." This means two things. First it starts with self-examination. Do not think more of yourself than what you would be apart from the grace of God. In the same way, do not look down on those who live in their sin, because you were once that way also. Instead, confess your own sins before God, never failing to give Him thanks for all that He has accomplished in you. Also, as for your neighbor, judge not lest you be judged. Instead, show compassion, acting as a role model of what having the Spirit of God looks like so that others will want that life also. Jesus said to the harlot, "where are those who condemn you?" She replied, "they have all gone away." Jesus said, "then I will neither condemn you, but go and sin no more."
This is how we should model ourself in our daily life.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, we need to look to you as our model. You came not only to forgive our sins, but to be a model for us. Let us consciously seek to imitate You. In Your Name we pray Amen.
