Scripture Reference: (Galatians 5:13-26 & Ephesians 4:32).
WE HAVE HEARD A LOT about the importance of following Jesus, however what does this look like? Our walk with Jesus begins at salvation and continues throughout our earthly lifetime and into eternity.
Question: How do we know whether we’re still on the right path or, have we drifted away? Following The LORD requires obedience to God’s Word and sensitivity to His Holy Spirit. Lets look at an example, Scripture clearly teaches us to forgive others as we have been forgiven ( Ephesians 4:32).
Anger, resentment and, a desire for revenge are natural responses however, following Christ requires that we turn from these evil ways and pray to have a forgiving spirit and; God’s supernatural love for our offender(s). Believe me, it may very well take time to reach this point however, as we let The Holy Spirit change and transform our heart and mind, forgiveness will flow as a clear stream of water down a brook.
God has provided everything we need to faithfully follow our Savior. His Word is our guide and, His Spirit enables us to overcome our natural impulses and obey His instructions. However, we must cooperate with Is work in us by denying our sinful responses and, choosing instead to walk in the power of His Spirit each day. Following Jesus isn’t a one—time decision—it’s a way of life. Yours in Christ
