1 Timothy 4:12 (KJV)
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Timothy was a preacher and it is certainly true that preachers, above all people, ought to be an example. But I wish to contend that this is true of all Christians, not just preachers.
Be thou an example
In word
My, how our words ought to become godliness. These days, with the Chinese Coronavirus testing our faith as well as our patience this is especially true. Even more so because, with social media, we can “vent” to the whole world.

Be thou an example
In conversation
This means lifestyle. I don’t imagine it hurts anything more repeat from the first point of how important it is that we are an example in our verbal conversations but in this case, the point is that we are an example in our day to day life.

In charity
We commonly call this love, but it really is more specific than that. It is love for our church.

In spirit
The spirit is that part of us that connects with God. Walk with God. Follow God. Obey God.

Be thou an example
In faith
This is both how we trust God and what we believe about God. Faith is our doctrine. Be an example in the absolute assurance of Whom you trust and what you believe.

In purity
Holiness, blameless, righteousness. If the world is to accuse you in this evil day let it be because of your convictions and not for other reasons.

The world is living in fear today. Be above board in every area of life. That way when you obey God rather than men, they must see that it is not your nature to be disobedient.
