This is Your Life-How are You Walking?

Growing up in the inner city, I noticed many adults who, practically speaking, would be characterized by the way in which they walked. Some walked with a deliberate lean and would swing their arm, which we characterized as a "cool" walk. Even today, we can oftentimes recognize someone who is confident, angry, or even afraid by the way they walk. Spiritually speaking, walking refers to a lifestyle rather than a physical disposition or feeling. Our focus must be on OBEYING God continually! I John 1:7 states "If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his son cleanseth us from all sin." Many FEEL they are Christians, but have failed to obey God. Walking (living) in the light is predicated upon GETTING INTO the light. The Bible records in John 1:9, that Jesus is the true Light (not John the baptizer). The ONLY way to get into the Light (Jesus Christ) is to be baptized into Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:27). Our Christ-like focus must always be maintained; our walk must be one that is pleasing to God. We must walk worthy (Col. 1:10). We must walk circumspectly (Eph. 5:15). We must walk honestly (I Thess. 4:12). We must walk by faith (2 Cor. 5:7). Get in Christ TODAY, before it is too late (Luke 16:20-31). This is your life..... How are you walking?
