As we follow the new truth we become an example for others to follow. We let our light shine before men. We spur others to love and good deeds. We bring the standard of living further by living the life we have received from Jesus. We become the living epistle. We move from just following what others say to being a cutting edge minister. We don't just talk about it, we pattern it.
Our speech shows God's truth. The promises start to manifest through us.
Having this new insight and living it does not mean we are perfect. It is the same with us as we listen to others. We should not reject what others say about the Bible, if what they are saying is true. If what they are saying is true we should pay attention to them,even when there are other parts of their life that is not Godly. Don't take the attitude of pride and reject other teachers because of their short comings. Prove all things and hold fast to that which is good. Accept people and gently encourage them where it is needed.
Look at David. He followed God with his whole heart. At the same time there were things in his life that were not right. He was a murderer and adulterer. David did repent when he was confronted.
Have a heart for truth and seek God with all your heart.
