                                          "WALKING WITH GOD" 

                                                PART ONE

                                               EPHESIANS 4:1-6     

 INTRODUCTION:                                                                                                                                     "WALKING WITH GOD": MEANS SUSTAINING INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.    WHEN WE ARE IN STEP WITH GOD, WE DON'T GET AHEAD OF THE LORD RUSHING INTO LIFE'S OPPORTUNITIES ON OUR OWN TIMING AND DESIRES.    NEITHER DO WE FALL BEHIND BY FAILING TO OBEY WHAT HE ASK US TO DO. 

             WHEN WE "WALK WITH GOD", WE NATURALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD SIMPLY BY BEING WHO WE ARE.    A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BRINGS US JOY, PEACE, CONTENTMENT, AND PURPOSE.                                                                                                                                 WHEN WE "WALK WITH GOD", OTHER PEOPLE SEE HIM THROUGH OUR LIVES, AND WE MAKE AN IMPACT FOR HIS KINGDOM.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    WHEN MOST PEOPLE BEGIN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE, THEY ARE FILLED WITH ENTHUSIASM BUT QUICKLY BECOME DISCOURAGED OR CONFUSED.    THEY MAKE MISTAKES AND FACE DIFFICULTIES OR FIND THAT CLOSE FRIENDS AND FAMILY FAIL TO SUPPORT THEIR DECISION TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN.     

            WHEN ADVERSITY COMES OR LOVED ONES REJECT THE GOSPEL, NEW BELIEVERS QUESTION IF THEIR LIFE OF FAITH TRULY WORKS.    THAT IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE KNOW WHAT WE CAN EXPECT WHEN WE "WALK WITH GOD". 

            IN HIS SERMON ON THE MOUNT, JESUS TEACHES THAT HIS CHILDREN MUST COME THROUGH THE NARROW GATE IN ORDER TO REACH THE PATH THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE, MATTHEW 7:13-14.                                                                                                                                     THERE ARE MANY ON THE BROAD ROAD OF LIFE WHO ARE SEEKING TO ARRIVE IN HEAVEN BY FOLLOWING THEIR OWN PATHS, WHICH ARE NOT CHRIST CENTERED LIVES.                            THERE ARE MANY ON THE BROAD ROAD OF LIFE THAT FILL CHURCH PEWS FAITHFULLY, BUT ONLY A FEW HAVE RECEIVED THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH GUARANTEES THEM HEAVEN, THEY ARE NOT TRUE GENUINE CHRISTIANS.

          1.  WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WALK WITH GOD?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 "WALKING WITH GOD" MEANS WE LIVE IN CLOSE FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM.    AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS WONDERFUL AND IT REQUIRES THAT WE OBEY HIM ON A DAILY BASIS.    THIS IS HOW WE GROW IN OUR ABILITY TO OVERCOME LIFE'S TRIALS, BECOME MORE CHRISTLIKE, WITNESS EFFECTIVELY, AND RESIST TEMPTATION.                                                                                                                                                                                            GOD DESIRES EACH PERSON TO BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR.    THEN HE DESIRES THAT WHEN WE WALK WITH CHRIST, WE WILL HAVE AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.                                                                                                                        THE TYPE OF INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT HERE IS FOLLOWING THE PATTERN OF OUR SAVIOR AS WE WALK WITH HIM EACH DAY.    WE SHOULD TALK DAILY TO THE LORD, ENJOY HIS LOVE, AND SEEK HIS GUIDANCE BY STUDYING HIS WORD (KJV BIBLE).                                                                                                                                                                                                 WHEN YOU AND I MUST MAKE LIFE-CHANGING CHOICES, WE NEED DIRECTION BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING, PROVERBS 3:5-6.                                                                                                THE APOSTLE PAUL TEACHES THAT BELIEVERS SHOULD SEEK TO LIVE AND TO WALK IN A CLOSE FELLOWSHIP WITH THE LORD (INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP).    PAUL URGES BELIEVERS TO "WALK WORTHY OF THEIR VOCATION", THEY ARE TO LIVE IN A MATTER BEFITTING THE DIVINE CALL OR INVITATION (VOCATION), WHICH SUMMONED THEM TO SALVATION.

  EPHESIANS 4:1 "I THEREFORE, THE PRISONER OF THE LORD, BESEECH YOU THAT YE WALK WORTHY OF THE VOCATION WHEREWITH YE ARE CALLED."                                        WE KNOW THAT SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT OF GRACE FROM GOD TO ALL WHO WILL ACCEPT IT.    HOWEVER, NOTE WE ME, THAT IS NOT THE END OF THE SUBJECT.                                         WHEN WE ACCEPT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR, THAT IS THE FIRST STEP!              THERE IS A JOB TO DO!    THE CALLED OF GOD (CALLED TO SALVATION) ARE TO WALK IN THE SALVATION THEY HAVE RECEIVED.   

           "WALK . . . . WORTHY": "WALK" IS FREQUENTLY USED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT (KJV BIBLE) TO REFER TO DAILY CONDUCT.    "WORTHY": HAS THE IDEA OF LIVING TO MATCH ONE'S POSITION IN CHRIST.                                                                                                                                                  TRUE SALVATION BRINGS A BRAND NEW LIFE IN THE BELIEVER.                                                          "VOCATION": MEANS CALLING OR INVITATION.    THIS IS NOT A JOB CHOSEN TO MAKE A LIVING BY, BUT TO MAKE A LIFE BY.    CHRISTIANITY IS A WAY OF LIFE.                                                             "CALLED": THIS REFERS TO GOD'S SOVEREIGN CALL TO SALVATION.    THE BELIEVER WHO WALKS IN A MANNER WORTHY OF THE CALLING WITH WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN CALLED IS ONE WHOSE DAILY LIVING CORRESPONDS TO THEIR HIGH POSITION AS A CHILD OF GOD.

 EPHESIANS 4:4-6, (4) "THERE IS ONE BODY, AND ONE SPIRIT, EVEN AS YE ARE CALLED IN ONE HOPE OF YOUR CALLING:"

 (5) "ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM," (6) "ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL, WHO IS ABOVE, AND THROUGH ALL, AND IN YOU ALL."                                     

           EVERYTHING THAT RELATES TO SALVATION, THE CHURCH AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF UNITY AS REFLECTED IN THE USE OF SEVEN "ONES" IN THESE THREE VERSES.                                                                                                                                               THIS ONENESS AMONG CHRISTIANS REFERS TO HAVING:

          1. ONE BODY - THE ONE BODY OF CHRIST, THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

          2. ONE SPIRIT - THE SAME HOLY SPIRIT WHO IMPARTS THE SAME SPIRITUAL LIFE TO ALL BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST.

          3. ONE HOPE - ALL CHRISTIANS SHARE THE SAME FUTURE CERTAINTY AND ARE HEADED TOWARD THE SAME ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN.

          4. ONE LORD - ALL SUBMIT TO THE SAME DIVINE RULER, JESUS CHRIST.

          5. ONE FAITH - ALL BELIEVERS HAVE PLACED THE SAME TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST FOR SALVATION.

          6. ONE BAPTISM - HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM AND INDWELLING AT THE TIME OF SALVATION,

 1ST CORINTHIANS 12:13.

          7. ONE GOD AND FATHER - ALL BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST HAVE THE SAME GOD AND HEAVENLY FATHER.

           THESE PARTICULAR AREAS OF ONENESS, OR UNITY, HAVE UNIQUE ROLES, BUT THEY ARE UNIFIED IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE DIVINE NATURE AND PLAN.                                                                THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO IS POSSESSED BY EVERY GENUINE BELIEVER IS THEREFORE THE INNER UNIFYING FORCE IN THE BODY.                                                                                                                    BELIEVERS ARE INDIVIDUAL TEMPLES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, 1ST CORINTHIANS 3:16-17.
  
           "ONE FAITH": IN TRUE CHRISTIANITY, THERE IS ONLY ONE FAITH, FOR WHICH WE ARE TO CONTEND, JUDE 3.    WHEREVER YOUR HEART IS, LIES YOUR FAITH.    OUR FAITH LIES IN JESUS CHRIST.          

           "ONE BAPTISM": SPIRITUAL BAPTISM BY WHICH ALL BELIEVERS ARE PLACED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST IS IMPLIED HERE, 1ST CORINTHIANS 12:11-13.                                                           THIS IS PART OF THE TEACHING THAT WE HAD EARLIER ON THE FACT THAT ALL CHRISTIANS MAKE UP THE "BODY OF CHRIST" (THE CHURCH), AND CHRIST HIMSELF IS THE HEAD.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              NOTE: WE WERE FLESH, FILLED WITH DEATH, UNTIL WE ACCEPTED LIFE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.                                                                                                                                                               WE ARE ADOPTED CHILDREN OF THE FATHER.    OUR ADOPTION WAS PAID FOR WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.                                                                                                                             IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT INDWELLING US THAT MAKES US ONE WITH HIM.                                                      THIS "BAPTISM" IS NOT SPEAKING OF WATER BAPTISM.

     LOOK WITH ME AT WHAT THIS SPIRITUAL BAPTISM DOES FOR EACH OF US.

           THE CHURCH, THE SPIRITUAL BODY OF CHRIST, IS FORMED AS BELIEVERS ARE IMMERSED BY CHRIST WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.                                                                                                     ALL TRULY BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS ARE IMMERSED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST BY MEANS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AT THE TIME OF SALVATION.                                                                                THERE CANNOT BE ANY BELIEVER WHO HAS NOT BEEN SPIRIT BAPTIZED, NOR CAN THERE BE MORE THAN ONE SPIRIT BAPTISM OR THE WHOLE POINT OF UNITY OF BELIEVERS IN THE BODY OF CHRIST IS CONVOLUTED.                                                                                                               ALL TRULY BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS HAVE BEEN SPIRIT BAPTIZED AND THUS ARE ALL IN ONE BODY, THE TRUE CHURCH.    THIS IS NOT AN EXPERIENCE TO SEEK, BUT A REALITY TO ACKNOWLEDGE!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    AT SALVATION, ALL BELIEVERS NOT ONLY BECOME FULL MEMBERS OF CHRIST'S BODY, THE CHURCH, BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS PLACED WITHIN EACH OF THEM.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   NOW THAT WE  HAVE LAID OUT THE FOUNDATION FOR THE THOUGHT OF "WALKING WITH GOD", LET'S LOOK AT SOME THOUGHTS ON OUR DAILY WALK.

           2.  HOW DO WE WALK WITH GOD IN THE WORD?

           WE CANNOT WALK WITH GOD WITHOUT HIS WORD OR CONTRARY TO HIS WORD (KJV BIBLE).

     1. WE "WALK WITH GOD" IN THE NEW BIRTH THROUGH HIS WORD.

 1ST PETER 1:23 "BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOR EVER."

           WE CANNOT WALK WITH GOD UNTIL WE KNOW AND ARE BORN-AGAIN.

           "BEING BORN AGAIN": REFERS TO ALL PEOPLE WHO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST BY FAITH AND WHOSE LIFE IS REGENERATED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD (KJV BIBLE), WHICH COMMUNICATES HIS OFFER OF SALVATION TO MANKIND.                                                       THUS, OUR SALVATION RESTS, FROM THE HUMAN PERSPECTIVE, UPON OUR WILLING RECEPTION OF THAT OFFER.                                                                                                                                   "BY THE WORD OF GOD": THE HOLY SPIRIT USES THE WORD OF GOD TO PRODUCE LIFE.    THIS "NEW" BIRTH IS A BIRTH OF THE SPIRIT MAN OR WOMAN.    THE OLD FLESH MUST BE BURIED AND THE NEW SPIRIT MAN OR WOMAN TAKES PLACE, JOHN 3:6.    OUR NEW SPIRIT IS BORN IN JESUS CHRIST (THE WORD OF GOD).                                                                                                 WE CANNOT WALK WITH GOD UNTIL WE KNOW AND ARE BORN OF GOD.

     2.  WE "WALK WITH GOD" IN HEARING HIS WORD.

 ROMANS 10:17 "SO THEN FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD."

           "THE WORD OF GOD": THE REFERENCE IS TO THE ORAL COMMUNICATION OF THE GOSPEL.                                                                                                                                                                       NOTICE THAT IT IS NOT FAITH IN WHAT IS HEARD, BUT FAITH THAT COMES ABOUT BY WHAT IS HEARD.                                                                                                                                                         THERE IS TWO KINDS OF HEARING HERE: THE AUDIBLE HEARING OF THE WORD OF GOD AND THE INWARD HEARING OR LISTENING TO THE WORD OF GOD.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             IT IS THE INWARD HEARING OF THE WORD OF GOD THAT IS POWERFUL, THAT CONVICTS US OF OUR SIN AND SETS US FREE FROM OUR SIN UNTO SALVATION.                                                           WE CANNOT WALK WITH GOD WHEN HIS WORD FALLS ON "DEAF EARS" OR REJECTED BY HARD COLD HEARTS.

     3. WE "WALK WITH GOD" IN READING HIS WORD.

 1ST PETER 2:2 "AS NEWBORN BABES, DESIRE THE SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD, THAT YE MAY GROW THEREBY."

          WE ALL KNOW THAT NEW-BORN BABIES GET THEIR NOURISHMENT FROM MILK.                              CHRISTIANS SHOULD GET THEIR NOURISHMENT FROM THE WORD OF GOD (KJV BIBLE).

 IT SHOULD BE THE DESIRE OF OUR HEARTS TO FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD IN HIS WORD EACH DAY.    A CHRISTIAN CANNOT GROW WITHOUT READING AND STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD (KJV BIBLE).                                                                                                                                                                 WE CANNOT WALK WITH GOD IN HIS WORD UNLESS WE SPEND TIME IN THE BIBLE.    PICKING IT UP AND DUSTING IT OFF FOR CHURCH OR FOR VISITORS TO YOUR HOME DOES NOT STRENGTHEN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

     4.  WE "WALK WITH GOD" IN TRUSTING HIS WORD.

 PSALM 119:127-128, (127) "THEREFORE, I HAVE THY COMMANDMENTS ABOVE GOLD; YEA, ABOVE FINE GOLD."

 (128) "THEREFORE I ESTEEM ALL THY PRECEPTS CONCERNING ALL THINGS TO BE RIGHT; AND I HATE EVERY FALSE WAY."

           DAVID KNEW THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND HE KNEW THEY WERE NOT TO BE COMPARED WITH EARTHLY THINGS SUCH AS GOLD.                                                                                           THIS SHOULD TELL US THAT BEING FAITHFUL TO THE WORD OF GOD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MONEY AND EARTHLY POSSESSIONS.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     DAVID, AT THIS TIME IN HIS LIFE, HAD AN IMPARTIAL REGARD TO ALL THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD; AND VALUED ONE AS WELL AS ANOTHER, AND WALKED ACCORDING TO ALL OF THEM.

           "AND I HATE EVERY FALSE WAY": EVERY COMMAND, INSTITUTION, AND ORDINANCE OF MEN, WHICH ARE OPPOSED TO THE WILL OF GOD.    EVERY FALSE WAY OF WORSHIP, ALL SUPERSTITUTION AND IDOLATRY, AND EVERY FALSE DOCTRINE WHATSOEVER IS CONTRARY TO THE TESTIMONIES AND WORD OF GOD.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                DAVID LEARNED WELL THE TEACHINGS OF GOD, AND HE KNEW THAT ANYTHING FALSE WAS SOMETHING FROM THE DEVIL HIMSELF.    DAVID'S HATE FOR THE FALSE WAY WAS REALLY A RIGHTEOUS HATE.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WE CANNOT WALK WITH GOD IN HIS WORD UNLESS WE SPEND TIME IN THE WORD (KJV BIBLE).    SINCE WE CANNOT SEE OR AUDIBLY HEAR GOD, WE MUST TRUST THE WORD OF GOD.    SINCE ALL THAT WE COMPREHEND ABOUT GOD IS FOUND IN THE BIBLE, WE CANNOT "CHERRY PICK" WHICH VERSES THAT WE TRUST.    "WALKING WITH GOD" IS TRUSTING GOD.

     5.  WE "WALK WITH GOD" IN MEDITATING UPON HIS WORD.

 JOSHUA 1:8 "THIS BOOK OF THE LAW SHALL NOT DEPART OUT OF THY MOUTH; BUT THOU SHALT MEDITATE  THEREIN DAY AND NIGHT, THAT THOU MAYEST OBSERVE TO DO ACCORDING TO ALL THAT IS WRITTEN THEREIN: FOR THEN THOU SHALT MAKE THY WAY PROSPEROUS, AND THEN THOU SHALT HAVE GOOD SUCCESS."

           "THE BOOK OF THE LAW": THE PARTS OF SCRIPTURE THEY POSSESSED (GENESIS THROUGH DEUTERONOMY, WRITTEN BY MOSES), HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE MAIN SCRIPTURE OF THOSE WHO SERVED HIM, JOB, JOB23:12; THE PSALMIST, PSALM 1:1-3; JEREMIAH, JEREMIAH 15:16, AND JESUS, JOHN 4:34.

           WE HAVE THE COMPLETE WORD OF GOD IN THE KJV BIBLE FOR US TO KNOW WHAT GOD DESIRES FOR OUR LIFE.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        OBEDIENCE BEGINS WITH A RELENTLESS QUEST TO KNOW AND TAKE TO HEART GOD'S WORD.                                                                                                                                                                          THE  PRINCIPLE HERE IS CENTRAL TO ALL SPIRITUAL EFFORTS AND ENTERPRISE, NAMELY THE DEEP UNDERSTANDING AND APPLICATION OF SCRIPTURE AT ALL TIMES.                              MEDITATING UPON GOD'S WORD MAKES IT A CONSISTENT PART OF OUR DAILY WALK WITH GOD.                                                                                                                                                                    "WALKING WITH GOD" IN HIS WORD COMES THROUGH DELIBERATING OR PONDERING UPON IT ALONG WITH PRAYER FOR UNDERSTANDING.

     6. WE "WALK WITH GOD" IN STUDYING HIS WORD.

 2ND TIMOTHY 2:15 "STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD, A WORKMAN THAT NEEDETH NOT TO BE ASHAMED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH,"

           "STUDY": THIS WORD DENOTES ZEALOUS PERSISTENCE IN ACCOMPLISHING A GOAL.                 ALL THOSE WHO PREACH, TEACH THE WORD OR WITNESS TO THE LOST ARE TO GIVE THEIR MAXIMUM EFFORT TO IMPART GOD'S WORD COMPLETELY, ACCURATELY, AND CLEARLY TO THEIR HEARERS.    THIS IS CRUCIAL TO COUNTER THE DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF FALSE TEACHING.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                "RIGHTLY DIVIDING": A REFERENCE TO EXACTNESS.   PRECISION AND ACCURACY ARE REQUIRED IN BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION, BEYOND ALL OTHER ENTERPRISES, BECAUSE THE INTERPRETERS IS HANDLING GOD'S WORD.    ANYTHING LESS IS SHAMEFUL.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "THE WORD OF TRUTH": ALL OF SCRIPTURE IN GENERAL, JOHN 17:17, AND THE GOSPEL MESSAGE IN PARTICULAR, EPHESIANS 1:13; COLOSSIANS 1:5.                                              JUST A HAND FULL OF LESSONS ON THE BIBLE IN SUNDAY SCHOOL OR AT ANY SCHOOL ARE NOT ENOUGH TO PREPARE A PERSON TO MINISTER AT ANY LEVEL.    CONTINUAL STUDY AND MEDITATION ON GOD'S WORD MORE EACH DAY IS REQUIRED.                                                                   THE ONLY WAY TO RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH IS TO STAY IN THE KJV BIBLE STUDYING AND LET THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACH YOU THE MEANING OF THE SCRIPTURES.                                                                                                                                                                                                           WALKING WITH GOD IN HIS WORD IS BASED UPON PROPERLY UNDERSTANDING IT.    GOD'S PEOPLE MANY TIMES ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.    THE BIBLE IS OUR FOUNDATION UPON WHICH WE BUILD OUR LIVES.

      7. WE "WALK WITH GOD IN ADHERENCE TO HIS WORD.

 JAMES 1:22 "BUT BE YE DOERS OF THE WORD, AND NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES."

           "BUT BE YE DOERS": THE CALL HERE IS FOR PROFESSING BELIEVERS TO BE "DOERS", RATHER THAN SIMPLY TO DO, EMPHASIZES THAT THEIR ENTIRE PERSONALITY SHOULD BE CHARACTERIZED IN THAT WAY.                                                                                                                               PROFESSING CHRISTIANS WHO ARE CONTENT WITH ONLY HEARING THE WORD HAVE MADE A VERY SERIOUS SPIRITUAL MISCALCULATION.                                                                                       MANY MAY SAY THEY ARE CHRISTIANS, BUT THE REAL TEST IS, DO THEY LIVE WHAT THEY PROFESS?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WALKING WITH GOD IN HIS WORD IS BOTH HEARING AND DOING OR APPLYING THE SCRIPTURES TO OUR LIVES.    THE BIBLE SETS CHRISTIAN PARAMETERS FOR HOLINESS OF LIFE.

      8.  WE "WALK WITH GOD" IN SHARING THE GOSPEL.

 MARK 16:15 "AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD, AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE."           

            THIS IS CALLED "THE GREAT COMMISSION".    IT IS JUST AS VALID TO EACH OF US AS IT WAS TO THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS OF OLD.                                                                                                    THE GOSPEL SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD, AND THEN SHALL THE END COME.                                                                                                                                                               

           PREACHERS, TEACHERS, EVANGELIST, ALL CHRISTIANS (MEN AND WOMEN) ARE CALLED TO SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH THE WORLD AROUND THEM.    MOST ARE NOT MISSIONARIES, BUT ALL BELIEVERS CAN BE WITNESSES TO THOSE AROUND THEM WHERE THEY LIVE, WORK, SHOP, ETC.                                                                                                                                                                   BELIEVERS CAN NOT SET AT HOME TWIDDLING THEIR THUMBS AND GET SOMEONE SAVED.    THEY MUST SHARE THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO EVERYONE WHO WILL LISTEN.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              THE LORD IS NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH.    HIS WILL IS THAT "ALL MEN BE SAVED" AND COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              GOD SO LOVED THAT HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR SINNERS.    IF WE WALK WITH HIM, WE WILL BE SOUL CONSCIOUS AND SOUL WINNERS.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      THE VOICE OF GOD (KJV BIBLE) IS VITAL TO OUR WALKING WITH HIM.                                                   SOMEONE ONCE SAID, "EITHER THE BIBLE WILL KEEP YOU FROM SIN OR SIN WILL KEEP YOU FROM THE BIBLE".   MAY BY THE GRACE OF GOD LET'S "WALK WITH GOD".

                                                                                                                                                                                      AMEN!
