I John 2:6 NKJV "He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked."
We risk being called deceivers when we claim to be born again but don't live like Him. Being born again isn't a title, it's being dead to sin, to self and being raised up with a new life, the very life of God, that enables you to live like Him.
You know, preachers encourage us to remain in faith even when we sin; we are told that babies start crawling before they begin to walk; and that Jesus has paid the price for all the sins we would ever commit: yes, but for how long is a man supposed to be a babe? For how long are we going to keep preaching that message to the same man? For how long shall a man continue to walk in his old ways?
He who says he abides in Christ ought to walk as Christ walked! It's time to grow up! Time to get serious about our faith and walk with God; it's time to follow Jesus wholeheartedly and learn His ways.
To do: Ask God for the power of the Holy Spirit to live and walk like Christ.
