Did you know we as Christians must learn to walk?
Jesus asked his disciples to come and follow me. (Matt 4) Paul exhorts the saints in his letters to Colossians and Ephesians on how they should be walking if we are in Christ. So as I thought about how I should be walking I realized I wasn’t very good when I began my new life in Christ. I stumbled and I fell a lot. I was trying to follow Jesus but I wasn’t always following his guidance on walking in Christ. I wanted to follow but in my own strength and in my own way just like a young child might do. We want to walk alone yet we still need our parents guidance. Does that make sense?
As a chid of God, He teaches us how to walk. Just like teaching and guiding our children if we will listen and learn from Him we can learn to walk trusting that He will be with us to catch us when we fall but always guiding our path.
The Spirit guides us into all Truth. (John:16:13) He calls us to be imitators and to learn His ways. As we grow in spiritual maturity we will learn how to walk as Christ walks.
Walk worthy.
Walk in love
Walk as a child of Light.
Walk wise.
All these walks are walking hand in hand with the Spirit to help us. We don’t walk alone today but in Christ.
