5 Advantages of a Christian Walk
"As you have recieved Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him."
1 A Christian walk is the place of communication with God. None but those who walk in Christ have fellowship with the Father, and with the Son. When we walk in Christ, we walk with God.
2 A Christian walk turns moral virtues into graces. The grace of a Christian walk is sanctification. It is santification that turns moral virtues into graces. Carnal hearts are always carnal, even in moral actions. Spiritual hearts are new creatures, acting from new principles.
3 A Christian walk is the foundation of our joy. There is joy and peace in Justification, founded upon the righteousness of Christ given to us. This is the foundation of the believers's truest joy.
4 It is an evidence of a gracious state, a confirmation of our faith. A holy walk is the fruit, evidence of our justification. It is not the ground of our justification, but evidence. How shall we evidence a gracious state of existence? Walk in Him.
5 It is a walking toward heaven. Heaven is the end of our walk. Holiness is the road there. Your Christian walk is the beginning of heaven, it starts today. Holiness is not only the way to heaven, but it is heaven itself. (Heb. 12:14, Rev. 21:27)
The more we walk in Christ the more we live the life of god and anticipate the life of heaven.
