Without setting the example for them, and loving them, it's all for naught.
I offer myself as nothing, especially as an example. I am chief amongst sinners.

Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

You can be all the example you choose to be.
My example, if it can be called such, is that I'm a sinner in need of grace, unable to lead the life that I'm supposed to. I do not desire to sin, but I will eventually no matter what my desire may be.

Don't you share your peace with others? Especially if asked? I'll bet you have, you're far too intelligent not to recognize the opportunities that God has put before you to do so. :) Anytime you've put what is morally right ahead of what your own self interest is, you've set a Biblical example.

I am chief amongst sinners.

That's funny, I thought I was. Guess that makes two of us, hope you like the company.

Regards,
