The Spiritual Walk: being a witness for Jesus Christ

The Spiritual Walk: being a witness for Jesus Christ by ric gustafson


When we become a follower of Jesus Christ, non believers will watch you very closely. Jesus wants us to be witnesses of himself. Followers of Jesus are scrutinized by others because they represent Jesus and his message. Matthew 5:16 says that Jesus commands us to let our light shine. Sometimes we try to hide our wordly desires but Jesus wants us to live by a higher standard.
Unbelievers walk around in spiritual darkness and don't realize it. Their lives are aimless and without purpose and direction. In Ephesians 4, the Apostle Paul tells us of four things that we need to change in our lives. The first is lying which Paul says that we need to put on truth instead. The second is sinning in anger which Paul says we need to reach for peace and reconciliation instead. The third is stealing which Paul says we should get a job and do something good. The fourth is corrupt communication and Paul tells us instead to use good words to say about others.
Our spiritual walk continues until the day we go home to be with Jesus. My prayer with these devotions is that we always stay on that walk and never get off that narrow path.
