THE NECESSITY OF WALKING WITH GOD

 DAY # 2: THE NECESSITY OF WALKING WITH GOD (PART I)

 

MEMORY VERSE: “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him.”   Colossians 2:6

 

Walking daily with the Lord demands authenticity – realness—being genuine. If you claim to be a Christian, then you are to walk as a Christian. Your behavior and lifestyle should reflect what you profess. I John 2:6 talks about this emphatically!

 

Daily walking with the Lord means:

 

1.    There will be growth. Babies need nourishment if they are to grow up. They will need solid food after they come off of milk. Baby Christian always need nourishment from the Word of God.  See I Corinthians 3:1-2

2.    There will be power to defeat temptation and sin. That strength comes from the very Word of God. Look at the account of Jesus in the wilderness and how He used the Word to defeat Satan! Matthew 4:1-11

3.    Service to the Lord. In John 12:26 Jesus said that “if anyone serves me, let him follow me.” Living in obedience to the commands of His Word.

 

Daily walking with the Lord will produce growth. It will enable you to overcome sin and temptation. And it will enable you to serve the Lord … each and every day!

 

Read Jeremiah 15:16 – He found God’s Word. He consumed it.  He enjoyed it and he obeyed it!
