What does the Bible say about emulating Mary?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible highlights Mary as a model of devotion and faith through her actions in John 11 and 12.

In John 11 and 12, Mary is depicted not just as a woman to imitate but to emulate, emphasizing the importance of a heart transformed by faith rather than mere action. Her choice to sit at the feet of Jesus and attend to His word demonstrates a priority placed on spiritual growth and understanding. Jesus acknowledges her act of anointing Him as significant, associating it with His coming death and resurrection. Therefore, emulating Mary means embodying a life dedicated to Christ, valuing His teachings, and acting out of love and devotion rather than obligation.
