The word “walk” is often used in the New Testament to refer to how a person lives as a practice or how they habitually act in their day to day lives. In the book of Ephesians the apostle Paul says a lot about how Christians should “walk”. In chapter 4:17-19 Paul tells us how we should not walk, “This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.” Paul says in chapter 2:10, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” The Christian life must be characterized by good works. As Paul said in Titus 3:1, “Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work”. Christians must also walk in love. “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.” (Ephesians 5:1-2). To the best of our ability we are to love others as God loved us, wishing for them the highest possible good and working to bring that good about as we can. We must also strive to “Walk as children of light” (5:8). In verses 10 and 11 Paul explains, in part, what walking in the light entails, “finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” Paul also says in Ephesians 5:15-17 that we should walk in wisdom. “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” The wise person works to understand what God’s will for us is and then does all they can to obey God’s will. In Ephesians 4:1-3 we read, “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” To walk worthy means that we do not live in a way that will bring reproach on God or the church. We are to live so that we can, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16). If we will walk as Christians should walk then we may be like the early Church. “Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.” (Acts 9:31).
