LET'S BE CHRIST WALKING PARTNERS

Ephesians 4:17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.

When we accept Christ as our Savior that is the first step to Holy living, but it does not stop there.  Now we must build a relationship with Christ, we have to communicate with Him daily through the Word of God; because the more we study the Word "with understanding", the closer we will draw to Christ and the closer we draw to Him, the more like Him we become.  Now we will never be completely like Christ until we are no longer in the flesh.  But, we can be submissive to the Word of God, like Christ.  When Christ is truly in our hearts we will not indulge in all kind of impurity or be full of greed; we would no longer live as Gentiles but as children of God

Father, help us follow Your instruction for life, help us tap into our children natural curiosity to help them discover the majestic of You.  Lord, let us not only cling to You in time of troubles but help us be Your walking partners so Your arms of grace will transform us.   Father, You created us for the enjoyment of companionship, dialogue, intimacy, joint decision-making, mutual delight, and sharing Your dominion.  So give us perseverance so we will stand on Your word, with Your strength and courage; so we may be worthy of Your love, and able to serve our purpose in Your Kingdom, in Jesus name Amen
