Walking After Christ

In today’s episode of Words of Grace, based on 1 John 2:6, we explore what it truly means to abide in Christ and walk as He walked.

“He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”

Drawing from passages in John, Galatians, Ephesians, and more, we discuss our connection to Christ in salvation, regeneration, and resurrection. We then consider the Parable of the True Vine in John 15, where we learn the practical lessons Jesus taught about abiding in Him, emphasizing the importance of close fellowship with Christ and the destruction that awaits when we wander from Him. Lastly, we take up John’s command to walk as Jesus walked, learning this by studying Jesus’ life—His prayer habits, devotion to Scripture, humility, graciousness, and willingness to suffer for God’s will. We are called to follow His example, especially in loving one another.

Walking by Faith

In 2 Corinthians 5, there is a short but powerful parenthetical statement which reads, “for we walk by faith, not by sight.” In today’s radio program, a follow-up from last week’s on the new birth, we consider first what faith is and then, what it means to walk by it.

Sadly, the reality of what faith is has been lost to many believers in our present day. Far beyond mere mental ascent, faith is actually Christ living in you (Gal 2:20)! This intimate personal knowledge of God (Heb 8) is sparked at the new birth, a knowledge Jesus described as eternal life itself (Jn 17).
