The Decision to Walk With God...

Building on the topic of "Walking with God" - our next lesson was simply on the Decision each of us must make to Walk with Him. Praying to receive Christ as our Savior is not enough, that is just the beginning of our Relationship - we must daily make a decision to follow after Him. Could you imagine what the Church of Jesus Christ here in America would be like if we first had a healthy Fear of who God is and second made that daily choice to recklessly pursue God whole heartedly?

Jesus said it best in Luke 9:23-24 "And He said unto them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it."

Paul wrote about this decision we must make in Romans 12:1 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."

Do you see what Paul was writing there? Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God - the divine Creator of the Universe and all of Mankind begged the Creation to listen... and Paul challenged the reader to make their lives "living" sacrifices, and living sacrifices always have the ability to crawl off of the altar. So you now see that it is truly a hourly, daily, weekly, monthly decision we must all make to Walk with our God.

Paul also challenged the Church at Galatia when he wrote in Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me."

May each of us choose to Walk With God and become More like our Savior.
