"ARE YOU WALKING WITH THE WORLD OR WITH GOD?" The difference is as "light from darkness, life from death." God hath called us with a holy calling, to enjoy a holy Saviour, believe a holy Gospel, possess a holy nature, and walk a holy way. All the provisions of free grace, all the promises of infinite love, and all the precepts of reigning holiness, combine to require us to be a holy people unto the Lord our God. We are to imitate the conduct of our God: He feeds His foes, loves His people, and always acts in a way becoming His glorious character. Enemies lie in wait to deceive, errors will appear to mislead; but beware, lest being led away by the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own steadfastness. Consider your character, children of God; your high calling, united to Jesus as temples of the Holy Spirit; companions of saints and angels, friends of God; consider your destination: access to God's throne of glory, the promise of a blood-bought crown, and the joy of praising Jehovah for ever. Believer, walk worthy of God, reflecting your character, profession and destination. Walk with God; walk as Jesus walked; walk circumspectly; walk in love, walk honestly as in the day; so will you adorn your profession, and secure to yourself a crown of life.
For Meditation:
When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
