The Book of Ephesians: "The Walk of His Children" - Ephesians 5:1-20

What is the Christian Walk? Walk means lifestyle or manner of living. Life as a Christian means that we walk differently than the world. We walk worthy of our calling and position in Christ, fully pleasing Him. We walk in humility, unity of the Spirit, and love. We walk circumspectly in wisdom and truth. Circumspectly literally means to walk accurately, walk carefully, and walk with exactness. When you become a Christian you don’t just carelessly stroll through the Christian life doing whatever pleases you. When you become a believer there is an exactness to how you are to walk. You enter by the narrow gate. You walk a narrow path. God’s life principles have been carefully laid out for us in His Word. It is simply living according to God’s standards and principles written in His Word. Where there is genuine faith in Christ, fruit will always follow. "The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." (2 Timothy 2:19) Society is corrupted by immorality, and the end of every immoral person is the wrath of God.  (vs. 6) "Be ye not therefore partakers with them." (vs. 7) We have been called out of darkness into light (Acts 26:18), out of the kingdom of Satan into the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:9; Colossians 1:13). The reality of that calling, is a new nature, a new heart and a new life. We are a new creation in Christ, and that change is reflected in our daily lives as we rely upon His power to enable us to walk in the Spirit and not according to the flesh.
