Hebrews 13:7
Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you;
and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.

Two things are seen in this verse.

Firstly, the forthright teaching.
We are to remember those who led (and who are leading) us.
The ones who spoke/speak the Word of God to us.

The balance of the phrase gives us understanding.

We are to remember the Word of God.
We are to remember and consider their conduct and faith.
We are to imitate their conduct and faith.

Second, all true believers are called to live in this manner.
Not only remembering, but being those whose conduct and faith people will imitate.

We have been lied to by the enemy.
We have believed that we can not say to someone “do as I do”, “follow my path”.
We believe it to be arrogant and reflective of hubris.
Of course it is a heart issue.
The motivation of our heart reveals the truth.

We are told to live in a way that we can say “do as I do”. Some examples…

2Ti 1:13
Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me,
in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

Phl 4:9
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—
practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

2Ti 2:1-2
You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus,
and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

If we live in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus, then we can say “do as I do”.

Do it.
