In this study, we will look closely at the person of Philemon. What kind of Christian was he? Is it important that we know his characteristics? Should we as Christians today imitate him. The Apostle Paul made it clear that we could imitate him, as he was a follower of Christ (I Corinthians 11:1). We can learn much as to how we should follow Christ by studying the lives of His servants (Ephesians 5:1).
