Life is like a staircase.

You have to go each stair to reach the top.

Walk in Love. Walk in Light. Walk in Wisdom.

Walk in Love.

Let us be like God. Avoid imitating others especially those foolish idols. Live our lives pleasing to God’s sight. Our lives should be an offering to God and a sweet-smelling aroma. Let us be worthy to face God in the end.

Ephesians 5:1-7

Because God is love, believers emulating Him will live a life that manifests that same love. If we are true followers of Christ, our desire should be to avoid the pagan pitfalls listed here and live a life pleasing to the Lord.

Walk in Light.

Living in the light with God is being in the truth; doing what the Bible says and not what the world says. So that others will also be drawn into the light.

Ephesians 5:8-14

The dark can be a scary place! In Christ we are the lights in the world (Matthew 5:14). You should live so others will see and be drawn to the light. We are not to have fellowship with darkness, but show others where they can come to the light (John 1:9). Paul points out some contrasts between the conditions of the unbeliever and the believer. The believer has two responsibilities regarding sin. First, he must have no part in it. Second, he is to reprove such behavior in others.

Walk in Wisdom.

Jesus is coming back. We don’t know when but He said He will come back soon, and I know it’s already near. We should not waste time. Be filled with the Holy Spirit and understand the Will of God in our lives. This is walking with wisdom. Walking with fear of the Lord and submitting to one another with love.

Walk carefully or accurately. We are to be wise in our choices we make everyday as to how we walk in the Lord.
