The Goodness of Walking With God Part One

What does the Bible say? 3. Deuteronomy 8:6 "Observe the commands of the LORD your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him." 4. Romans 13: 13 "Let us walk with decency, as in the daylight: not in carousing and drunkenness; not in sexual impurity and promiscuity and in jealousy. 5. Ephesians 2:10 "For we are His creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them." 6. 2 Chronicles 7:17-18 "As for you, if you faithfully follow me as David your father did, obeying all my commands, decrees, and regulations, then I will establish the throne of your dynasty. For I made this covenant with your father,David, when I said 'One of your descendants will always rule over Israel." Jesus was never empty because He always walked with God doing His will. 7. 1 John 2:6 "The one who says, he resides in God ought himself to walk just as Jesus walked." When we walk with the Lord we draw closer to the Lord with all of our heart. He becomes our focus. Our heart seeks His presence. Our desire to have fellowship with Christ and be like Him will grow while our worldly desires will decrease. 8. Hebrews 10:22 "let us continue to come near with sincere hearts in the full assurance that faith provides, because our hearts have been sprinkled clean from a guilty conscience, and our bodies have been washed with pure water." 9. Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the the throne of God." 10. Luke 10:27 "And he answering said, Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. When walking with God we desire to please God and we allow the Lord to work in our lives to make us into the image of His Son. 11. Romans 8:29 "Because those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that his Son would be the first born among many brothers and sisters." 12. Philippians 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in your will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." When walking with the Lord you will grow in your awareness of sin in your life and your need for a Savior. More and more we will grow in hatred for our sins and want to rid our lives Roxanne Lea Dubarry 09/07/23
