Topic: Walking in Christ
Text: Colossians 2:6 KJV
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him.
We received Christ not just so that we can know something, but so that we can walk in Him. So that people can see us and say "this is a christian".
The Bible says about the disciples in Acts 4:13,
"Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus".
The Bible says "they took knowledge of them and they found out that these ones are no longer ordinary people, they have been with Jesus. They were ignorant people, but they were speaking mysteries, more than their understanding, more than philosophy.
We have received Christ, so that we can walk in Him. Christ is our habitat. We don't live outside Christ. He said "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing". John 15:4-5.
Don't live outside Christ, without Him, we can do nothing. As a believer, you don't have to be conscious of yourself, be Christ conscious. Be full of Christ in your mind and attitude.
When people see you, they need not to ask you if you are a Christian or not, they will know that this fellow has been with Christ. You will be known by the fruits you bear.
Prayer
I am in Christ, and He is in me. My life is rooted in His love, I will never decimate from it. I will live to please Him always and proclaim His glory among the heathen. Amen!
