The Three Facets of the Christian Walk :: Biblical Bible Christian Religious Essays

The Three Facets of the Christian WalkAs I begin this essay, I pray that I world power be able to rightly discriminate the word of truth, so that I need not be ashamed (2 Tim 215). This being my goal, I hope that you the reader might learn something from this essay. Remember though, to be as the Christians in Thessalonica, and examine each(prenominal) teachings based on their faithfulness to the scriptures (Acts 1711). As Christians, we are to go through life in a certain way. In Matthew 713-14, Jesus tells us that the proper path in life is narrow. enrol ye in at the strait gate for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and umteen there be which go in thereat Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and fewer there be that find it. What then is this path? Well, as Christians, we issue that the path to Eternal Life is through Jesus. Jesus tells us in John 146 that, I am the way, the truth, and the life no man co meth unto the Father, but by me. So we know that, as Christians, we cod already turned to face the right direction. As all Christians for certain know, though, the story does not end with the Sinners Prayer. After that day of salvation, we must go to sleep, and then rise again the next morning, again having to face a fallen world. In order to be the Salt of the World, as we are told we are in Matthew 513, we must know how to walk. certainly one that follows all of the dictates of the scriptures is doing right (all of the dictates, NOT just the rules of action). It is my belief that the Christian walk can be broken down into three inter-related Facets. The prototypic of these facets is Worship. The word worship appears in the King James Version of the sacred scripture 108 times. Under the classification of worship, one could include such things as praise, prayer, and state of grace. Worship, though, is more(prenominal) than these things. One can worship in all things, because t o worship is to score glory to God (1 Peter 411). One can damp glory to God by having a heart attitude of thanksgiving and praise when walking through a grocery store, through the woods, or down a street.
