A Christian Walk

In whom should a Christian walk?

Christians are rooted and built up in Christ Jesus the Lord; therefore, our Christian walk must be in Him (Colossians 2:6-7).

Where should a Christian walk?

John said we must “walk in the light as He is in the light” (1 John 1:7). After all, God is light and in Him is no darkness (1 John 1:5).

Isaiah encouraged the house of Jacob to “walk in the light of the LORD” (Isaiah 2:5). They were able to do this by keeping His commandments.

After all, God’s word is “a light unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105).

We need to walk in the narrow way and avoid the broad way that leads to destruction, which many will follow (Matthew 7:13).

Three keys to help us have a better Christian walk:

Walk in love (Ephesians 5:1-2)

Throughout the Bible we are taught of God’s love for all of mankind, Christ’s love for others, and the love that man must have in return. “We love Him because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19).

Walk as “children of light” (Ephesians 5:8-14).

Since God is light, we need to become His children and thus ‘children of light.’ Jesus taught Nicodemus how to do this as one is born again (John 3:1-7). Then, we must let our light shine before men (Matthew 5:16).

Walk circumspectly (Ephesians 5:15)

We need to be aware and stay aware of our surroundings. Paul warned young men like Timothy and Titus to beware of those who teach false doctrine. After all, if the blind lead the blind, all will fall into the ditch (Matthew 15:14).
