Our life with God is popularly called
"The Christian Walk"
It is a walk of faith
2 Corinthians 5:7
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises]—
It should be for us as natural as sleeping and breathing.
Being out of the presence of God (ie. Being in sin, should be an uncomfortable place for us)
Sadly there are many who walk in spiritual "blindness" and thinking that they are so connected to God.
Here are 5 ways we can walk with God that is to Walk in the Spirit
1. Walk away from sin. Sin is disobedience to the revealed will of God. Walk away from sin by having the sin nature cleansed by pure righteous life of Jesus. When you receive Him, He gets your sins and you get His life. Walk, therefore, to the cross and leave your sins with Christ Jesus, by faith, today.
2. Walk away from any other supposed "way" to God. The context in Galatia can be ours, too. Walk away from any idea that you can please God or satisfy God's righteous requirements and His punishment for sin by doing something yourself. You can't. It is cosmically impossible. But what God has required, God has provided through His Son, Jesus our Lord. Walk away from the bad idea of salvation by works, by ritual, or by any action or idea or person other than the Lord Jesus.
3. Walk towards the truth of God's Word. To walk in the Spirit is to walk in the Word. God the Holy Spirit breathed out the very Word of God. The Bible says that this, then, became flesh in the person of Jesus our Lord. Walk in His Word today and every day. Walk in His Word through this website and others like it that seek to keep you grounded in God's Word. Seek His Word and you will find Him. He will fill you as you breath in that sacred Word that He breathed out.
4. Walk towards the light of the love of Jesus. Jesus said that He is the light of the world. To walk in the Spirit is to be following Jesus, for the Spirit speaks of Christ Jesus. The Spirit magnifies the name of Jesus. And the light of Christ is His all-pervasive grace and love.
5. Walk in prayer and total dependence upon the Lord. Seek Christ and His life in daily prayer, in public prayer, and in meditation on God's Word. You, too, will be "staggered" by God's response to those who seek Him with all of their heart, soul, and mind.
To do these things is to walk in the Holy Spirit
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
