Our Talk and Walk 1 John 2:6
How Do I Know I Am A Christian? • Have I taken the steps in God’s plan of salvation (Eph. 1:18; 1 Pet. 1:22; 1 Jn. 5:13)? • Am I living a faithful Christian life (John 13:35; 17:23)?
“He that SAITH he abideth in Him…” • We must first abide in Christ (Gal. 3:26-27; Jn. 15:1-6) • Our profession must be more than just words (Mt. 23:3; Lk. 6:46; Jas. 2:11,14ff; 1 Jn. 1:6ff; 2:9; 3:18; 4:20) • Talking only is useless and hypocritical
“OUGHT himself also to walk…” • This is the very purpose of God (Rom. 8:29) • This is the very plan of Christ (Col. 1:18; 2:19) • This is the very program of the H.S. (Rom. 8:9,14,16; Gal. 5:22-23; 1 Jn. 2:20,27)
“Even as HE WALKED…” • He walked in holiness (Heb. 4:15) • He walked in obedience (Jn. 8:29) • He walked in activity (Acts 1:1; 10:38) • He walked in self-denial (2 Cor. 8:9) • He walked in prayer (Lk. 6:12)
“Even as HE WALKED…” • He walked in the scriptures (Mt. 4:4) • He walked in humility (Mt. 11:29) • He walked in rebuke (Mk. 3:5; Jn. 2:15) • He walked in tenderness (Mt. 9:36) • He walked for the very purpose of leaving us an example (Jn. 13:15; 1 Pet. 2:21)
