Yes, He certainly gave us the outward example. However, our natural life cannot keep up with that - for instance, Jesus said to love our enemies and bless those that curse you and spitefully use you, (Luke 6:27) and He certainly did that Himself! And He knew we couldn't do those things in ourselves, so God made this life available to live in us and do it!
Our battle these days is seeing what He's already done and who He has made us. This takes transformation of the mind to see and walk in Him.
