📌Follow Those Who Inherit The Promises.

Hebrews 6:12 — “Imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

There is a simple, powerful invitation in Hebrews 6:12 that reaches across generations and calls to us today. The writer urges us not to drift, not to grow tired, not to move through life half-awake spiritually — but to imitate those who actually received the promises of God. The ones who didn’t just hear about the blessings… but walked in them.

God gives us examples on purpose. He doesn’t leave us guessing about how faith works. He points us toward men and women — in Scripture and in our own time — who held onto His Word until they saw it come to pass. He wants us to see their stories and say, “If God did it for them… He will do it for me.”

Those who inherit the promises aren’t perfect people. They’re not the strongest or the most gifted. They are simply the ones who refuse to let go. They believe what God says, and they hold that belief through storms, delays, and long seasons where nothing seems to change. They let faith be their anchor and patience be their steady pace. And in time, the promise becomes their reality.

When Scripture tells us to “imitate” them, it’s not asking us to become someone else. It’s not about copying personalities or styles. It’s about learning the heart posture of the faithful. It’s about choosing trust over fear. Endurance over discouragement. Vision over circumstance. The people who inherited before us show us the way — not just in what they received, but in how they walked.

So look at their footsteps. Look at their stories. Look at Abraham waiting. Look at Joseph believing. Look at David trusting. Look at the modern faith walkers who stood on God’s Word until it came alive in their lives. Their testimonies are not meant to intimidate us; they are meant to guide us.

If you want what they had, walk the way they walked.

God is no respecter of persons — but He honors faith wherever He finds it.

And if you will imitate those who inherited before you, you will become one that others look to when their time comes to believe.
