The one who says he remains in him should walk just as he walked. 1 John 2:6 CSB Apologetics
Why is it so Hard to walk as Jesus did?
Well, let us start with the fact that most of the time we tend to look for the easy way out. Jesus faced resistance in this world by non-believers, those who persecuted him and eventually nailed him to the cross. Today we face the same persecution, the hate of non-believers and the unwillingness to lift a hand for someone other than ourselves. Even the disciples were looking for an easy way out.
In fact, all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 2 Timothy 3:12 CSB Apologetics
I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world." John 16:33 CSB Apologetics
Walking as Jesus did is to exude love, to be obedient, spend time in Prayer, and to have the desire to walk as he did.
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through his Spirit who lives in you. Romans 8:11 CSB Apologetics
Walking as Jesus did is no walk in the park. It starts with a desire to follow in his footsteps. Drop to your knees and begin to pray for help from God. Trust me, he is there, he is waiting and listening.
[14] For this reason I kneel before the Father [15] from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. [16] I pray that he may grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power in your inner being through his Spirit, [17] and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, [18] may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love, [19] and to know Christ's love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. [20] Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us- [21] to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21 CSB Apologetics
May God Bless you and Keep you...
