Abraham walked before God
Enoch walked with God
The Israelite walked after God
We walk in God
The Holy Spirit is in us.
'But' - human responsiblilty

Ephesians 2:8,9

We are complete in Him
Everything we need to walk our walk, He is enough for us

2:10 we are His workmanship

Contradicts the character of God to preach that God in His sovereignty save some only.

2:2

How much do you retain when you read God's words?

Understanding it and apply it!

We are not walking according to the cause of this world.
we seek the face of God.
God's personal involvement in our lives.

How and in what degree of glory? How much brightness? What glory do we give God?

*The purpose is to glorify God.*

By grace we are saved. Not by work

We are to be counted worthy

We are saved to be called to maturity, sonship perfection, conformity to the characters of God,
Holy and accepted in His sight
Not fall short of Him

Walk according to the cause of the source.
We walk in victory.

1) Walk in love.
Love is a choice. Show me you love me. Don't tell me.

Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
Eph 5:1‭-‬2 NKJV

If you love me keep my commandments.

What manner of love?

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Eph 3:14‭-‬19 NKJV

Paul prayed that they could comprehend God's love.

Love of God is greater than knowledge
(The knowledge of evil make us difficult to love our enemies.)
Do not let the knowledge hinder us from loving

2) Walk in the light
For you were once darkness, but now you  are  light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
Eph 5:8‭-‬10 NKJV

The Truth is a Person Jesus

The knowledge of truth is not the truth.
The Truth is Jesus
Need revelation and quickening in our spirit to know Jesus.

Jesus praise God for the Way Peter got the revelation of who Jesus is.
Hebrew meaning of Peter and the Rock is different

We know the words more than we obey.
The part we obey comes through revelation.

3) Walk in wisdom
For you were once darkness, but now you  are  light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
Eph 5:8‭-‬10‭, ‬15 NKJV

Wisdom - The ability to handle knowledge

Redeeming the time - cannot buy time. It does not mean to buy back
To rescue from lost. Use yr time correctly.

4) Walk in humility

But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."
Jas 4:6 NKJV

Refer not to saving grace but The empowering grace of God

People are problem. I'm biggest problem.
God gives us grace.
