~ Walk In Your New Life ~
Series
Introduction ~ The New Testament has much to say about how a
believer should live their life.
Christians should never have to guess about the life that pleases
God. In this series we look at a variety
of passages that speak about the Christian walk on earth.
Scripture ~ “What shall we say then?
Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer
in it? Or do you not know that as many
of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through
baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory
of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Romans
6:1-4).
Additional Scripture ~ “This I say, therefore, and testify in the
Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk,
in the futility of their mind” (Ephesians 4:17).
Comment ~ Prior to salvation we walked according to our
spiritual fleshly life. As believers we
are to walk in the new spiritual life we have received at the initial point of
our salvation.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in
Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the
Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was
weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the
righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk
according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set
their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the
Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to
be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and
peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity
against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot
please God” (Romans 8:1-8).
Quote ~ “To walk with someone means you are aware of their
presence. And this is true with
God. If you’re to walk with Him, you
must be continually aware of His presence.” —Kay Smith {Pleasing God)
