| − | =='''Christian Walk'''==
| |
| − | This teaching section takes a look at what God's Word tells us about our walk and what manner of life we should show forth. Let's start by turning to the Scriptures:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Ephesians 2:10 Ephesians 4:1 Ephesians 4:17 Ephesians 5:2 Ephesians 5:8 Ephesians 5:15
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1. Created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.Here, in the first mention of walk, we find it connected with works. The believer is the workmanship of God and has a purpose in this life. Whether the works were before ordained, or we were ordained to walk in them, makes little difference. We can conclude that the mark of the real believer is that he is walking in good works according to the will of God. He fulfills the desire of God.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. Walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called. In the Greek, this word worthy means in balance, as the beam on the scales. Our works are to balance the doctrine of the first 3 chapters. This is the balance we should keep in our walk.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3. Walk not as other Gentiles walk. This is as much as to say that we are not to be conformed to the world about us. Such a walk is in emptiness of mind, with the understanding darkened, and in such a blindness of heart as to be alienated from the life of God. Such a walk leads only to death, for the wages of sin is death, and always has been. Those who have learned Christ do not walk as do other Gentiles. One's true character is revealed by his walk.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 4. Walk in love. This item and the 2 following give some detail of the walk of the member of the body of Christ. This is the testing ground and the basis for judging for rewards and the crown. Walk in love has to do primarily with the relationship of husband and wife ( Ephesians 5:22 and Eph. 5:25-33). Every item in these verses is truth for today. The wife who is not subject to her husband cannot have joy and peace in this life. She was made to be a helpmeet.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Any other position she may take is contrary to nature. Likewise the husband is to love and cherish his wife, for they are one flesh. The man who obeys this admonition shows forth as an example the love of Christ for His church, which is His own body and of His flesh, a church or body of which He is the Head.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 5. Walk as children of light. We are to walk as if in the full Sheckinah glory of the tabernacle in the heavens above. For our citizenship is in the holy of holies in the heavenly places, we are blest there, and we are seated there in Christ. Our walk should be in keeping with such a high calling. This walk can also be applied to the relation of children and parents (Ephesians 6:1-4). The walk has to do with such everyday things as home relationships, not to exploits on the battlefield or the like. The home is the gateway to heaven.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 6. Walk circumspectly. Walk carefully. This applies especially to our contacts without the home, and may be covered by the relationship of masters and servants (Ephesians 6:5-9).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Few workers can be found these days who will do their service as unto the Lord. But this is a testing and the future service will be gauged by our service now. Those who endure will reign with Him. Our diligence in our job advertizes our zeal for the Lord. Ultimately all our service is for Christ and should be done heartily, not as to men, and we know that of Him we receive the reward of the inheritance.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In a past dispensation, we are reminded that All them that believe...have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:22-23). And if that is true, then where does the unbeliever stand? It is common for verse 23 to be taken out of its context and made to refer to the unbeliever by the self-styled evangelist. But is this distortion of Scripture justified?
| |
| − | In the doctrinal section of Ephesians (chapters 1-3) we find much about the perfection of the believer. But does he have sinless perfection? If he did, then we would have no need for the last 3 chapters which are about practice. We have many do's and don'ts for the member of the church which is the body of Christ. Are these laws? No, they are exhortations for believers. When there was law, there was a covenant. But no covenant today. Yet, we are to understand that there is reward, prize, crown, or something extra for the ones who suffer or endure in the faith.
