Role models

A woman in my church...I really admire her because she's been a really supportive person to me.
I really don't want myself to look up to people so much that I lose focus of God. Humans are HUMANS, they are fallible and certainly not perfect. However, when you get your eyes off of God and too much on people, you're bound to be disappointed.

Probably my sister, my mom, my (maternal) grandmother, and one of the youth leaders at my church.

They're all huge inspirations in my life.

They aren't the only ones, but they're the most prominent ones.

Jesus is my role model because He is perfect, so naturally, I don't have to watch out for stuff he might have done wrong. Of course, I'll never be equal to Him, but still, I read the Bible and try to apply His behavior to my life. For example, being angry without sinning, not being afraid to do what's right, risking your life (without comprimising the truth) for others and for the truth, reverence to God, everything about Jesus is good and perfect, so I want to be like Him. I want to "be holy as He Himself is holy." Why? because He called me to. Jesus is the ultimate defender of truth, the ultimate giver of justice and mercy, the ultimate sacrifice. I want to use every opprotunity I have to be like Him. That's why He's one of my role models.

Answer your question?

Answering Jonathan's questions:

for those who list Jesus as one of their role models, why is that?

Becuase he is our God, the one who made us. He is a role model becasue if we strive to be like him, we have peace, and then...how do I put this...we have the kingdom of God? (Okay, I'm saying this all wrong, but it's getting hard to answer.)

What does that mean?

....

How is he a role model in your life, and how does that affect how you live?

He is a role model in my life in the way that I want to be like him. I want to be nice, friendly, and kind to all of those around me. I want to help people, and I want to lead others to Jesus. I want to strive to be more like him in every way. I'm not perfect, and it is really hard when you've practically got nothing to work with, but I trust that God can help, in every way. And I know I can never be the best or be exactly like him (never), but I can try, and know I am dong what I can.

My role models are: Jesus, Kathy and Bob Parish, BJ Higgins, Matthew West, Tami Bozeman, Aimee Saddler, KLOVE, and My grandma and grandpa Homann.

My parents.... it could differ. I'm kind of different from them (ones a nurse, the other an electrician. I want to be an author, and then they may go to church, but I don't exactly see them reading their Bible or things like that. Things changed when I was with my Aunt and Uncle over the summer. And they don't even go to church...)

My sister (Alisha Richardson Wolfe...) could be considered a role model. It could differ a lot less than my parents. I think I consider her one, yes.

That's about it. It's sad when I can't say I have a pastor that is a role model, and I don't have any youth pastors, or even a youth group. But, hey, I'm all right with that. It wouldn't be any better no matter where I went. I don't have much in the area of chruch and that. It's okay though. I don't exactly have anyone to go to or talk with about my life anyway. I just...

Love, Marisol.

While on Earth, Jesus atoned for our sins through his substitutionary death on the cross, but also always conducted himself in a way I want to imitate. I fix my eyes on him (Heb 12:1-2) because he demonstrated extreme love (Eph 5:1-2) and compassion (e.g., Mark 8:1-2). He got up early to pray (Mark 1:35). He resisted the devil's temptations with Scripture (Matt 4:1-11). He was humble and obedient (Phili 2:5-8). He lived to do the Father's will (John 6:38), even when his crucifixion was impending (Luke 22:42).

Christ, fully God, is my Savior, but he was also fully man. This affects how I live because I see his life as a human, albeit sinless, which gives me an example to copy. With the Lord's strength, I strive to demonstrate love and compassion, get up early to pray, resist the devil's temptations with Scripture, be humble and obedient, and live to do the Father's will no matter what comes up.

Speaking of role models, I saw on the news that Britney Spears little sister Jamie-Lynn is pregnant (she's only 16

). I had a feeling that'd happen sooner or later by simple virtue of the terrible example Britney has left for her. And to make matters worse, I heard their mom actually has the nerve to write a book on parenting. I'm sure gonna want to buy that book *said in a heavily sarcastic tone*.

My ultimate role model is Jesus. I wnat to be more like Him each day.
Now for earthly role models it would be my parents, or my youth leader, or like any person who has died for Jesus. Those people are my role models.
