In business management the strategy of benchmarking is the process of comparing one's own business processes and performance metrics against successful standards or practices employed by that industry. Benchmarking is also necessary for believers. You can grow up in faith rapidly if you learn from those who show the results of the good example of a believing life. If you use the Word of God as the benchmark standard and desire growth and development, you can benefit by learning from those who live by the Word of God and those who do not.
