The Walk of the Believer!

Walk: to move about; travel on foot; behave

As a woman or man in Christ, our walk has to be different; 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." In other words, we must put aside those things that are not becoming to holiness and put on the fresh new things of God. The Lord always gives us instructions on the things He would like us to do, so this week, I would like to share a few with you.

  1. We must learn to walk worthy of our high position -- We are to lead a life worthy of whatever the Lord has called us to do, with behavior that is a credit to the services of God. We do this by living with a completely humble mind and with meekness; where we are unselfish, gentle, and mild with patience. We must always remember to bear with one another and make allowances for each other, because we are learning to love one another as the Lord has commanded us to do.
  1. The walk of the believer as a new man in Christ -- We must put off and discard our unrenewed self which characterizes our previous manner of life and be constantly renewed in the Spirit of our mind by having a fresh mental and Spiritual attitude. We must put on the new nature created in God's image, as in true righteousness and holiness. Additionally, we must express the truth with our neighbor.
  1. When angry, do not sin -- We should not let our fury or indignation last until the sun goes down. We must never leave room or foot-hold for the devil, we don't ever want to give him any opportunity to move in! Also, let no foul or polluting language, nor evil words, or worthless talk come out of our mouths, instead, we say only those things that are good to the use of edifying God and others, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Let's walk in the light, in truth, in Christ, in the Spirit, in wisdom, and in love that we may please the Lord at all times.

With all that said, let the Church say Amen… and AMEN!
