HEALTHY WALKING<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Ephesians 5: 1-21<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

WALK IN LOVE\u00a0 \u00a0 Ephesians 5: 1-2<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.\u00a02\u00a0<\/strong>And\u00a0walk in love,\u00a0as Christ loved us and\u00a0gave himself up for us, a\u00a0fragrant\u00a0offering and sacrifice to God.<\/span><\/h3>\n

John 13: 34-35<\/span><\/h3>\n

A new commandment\u00a0I give to you,\u00a0that you love one another:\u00a0just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.\u00a035\u00a0<\/strong>By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n

Romans 13: 8-10<\/span><\/h3>\n

Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for\u00a0the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.\u00a09\u00a0<\/strong>For the commandments,\u00a0\u201cYou shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,\u201d and any other commandment, are summed up in this word:\u00a0\u201cYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.\u201d\u00a010\u00a0<\/strong>Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

WALK IN TRUTH\u00a0 \u00a0 Ephesians 5: 3-7<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

But\u00a0sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness\u00a0must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.\u00a04\u00a0<\/strong>Let there be\u00a0no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking,\u00a0which are out of place, but instead\u00a0let there be thanksgiving.\u00a05\u00a0<\/strong>For you may be sure of this, that\u00a0everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.\u00a06\u00a0<\/strong>Let no one\u00a0deceive you with empty words, for because of these things\u00a0the wrath of God comes upon\u00a0the sons of disobedience.\u00a07\u00a0<\/strong>Therefore\u00a0do not become partners with them;<\/span><\/h3>\n

Colossians 4: 5-6<\/span><\/h3>\n

Walk in wisdom toward\u00a0outsiders, making the best use of the time.\u00a06\u00a0<\/strong>Let your speech always\u00a0be gracious,\u00a0seasoned with salt,\u00a0so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Romans 6: 1-2<\/span><\/h3>\n

What shall we say then?\u00a0Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?\u00a02\u00a0<\/strong>By no means! How can\u00a0we who died to sin still live in it?<\/span><\/h3>\n

1 Corinthians 6: 19-20<\/span><\/h3>\n

Or\u00a0do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?\u00a0You are not your own,\u00a020\u00a0<\/strong>for you were bought with a price.\u00a0So glorify God in your body.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

WALK IN LIGHT\u00a0 \u00a0 Ephesians 5: 8-14<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

for\u00a0at one time you were\u00a0darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.\u00a0Walk as children of light\u00a09\u00a0<\/strong>(for\u00a0the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true),\u00a010\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.\u00a011\u00a0<\/strong>Take no part in the\u00a0unfruitful\u00a0works of darkness, but instead\u00a0expose them.\u00a012\u00a0<\/strong>For\u00a0it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.\u00a013\u00a0<\/strong>But when\u00a0anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible,\u00a014\u00a0<\/strong>for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, \u201cAwake, O sleeper, and\u00a0arise from the dead, and\u00a0 Christ will shine on you.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n

Matthew 5: 14-16<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cYou are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.\u00a015\u00a0<\/strong>Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.\u00a016\u00a0<\/strong>In the same way, let your light shine before others, so\u00a0that they may see your good works and\u00a0give glory to your Father who is in heaven.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

WALK IN WISDOM\u00a0 \u00a0 Ephesians 5: 15-21<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,\u00a016\u00a0<\/strong>making the best use of the time, because\u00a0the days are evil.\u00a017\u00a0<\/strong>Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what\u00a0the will of the Lord is.\u00a018\u00a0<\/strong>And\u00a0do not get drunk with wine, for that is\u00a0debauchery, but\u00a0be filled with the Spirit,\u00a019\u00a0<\/strong>addressing one another in\u00a0psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,\u00a020\u00a0<\/strong>giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father\u00a0in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,\u00a021\u00a0<\/strong>submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Psalm 42: 8<\/span><\/h3>\n

By day the\u00a0Lord\u00a0commands his steadfast love, and at\u00a0night his song is with me,<\/span><\/h3>\n

a prayer to the God of my life.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Psalm 103: 1-2<\/span><\/h3>\n

Bless the\u00a0Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!<\/span>
\n2\u00a0<\/strong>Bless the\u00a0Lord, O my soul, and\u00a0forget not all his benefits,<\/span><\/h3>\n

Matthew 20: 25-27<\/span><\/h3>\n

But Jesus called them to him and said,\u00a0\u201cYou know that the rulers of the Gentiles\u00a0lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.\u00a026\u00a0<\/strong>It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 27\u00a0<\/strong>and whoever would be first among you must be your slave,<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
