Walk in the Spirit

As I have been studying the subject of walking in the Spirit, I find that in the Word of God, the Holy Spirit systematically lays out for each of us how God expects each of us to walk after salvation. It’s interesting to note that although there are many verses on Christian behavior, there is basically only 10 general commands on how to walk in the Spirit. And even just as interesting is the fact that they are listed in a chronological way through the N.T. As steps to follow. 1) Walk in newness of life (Rom. 6:4). 2) Walk after the Spirit (Rom. 8:1,4). 3) Walk honestly (Rom. 13:3-4). 4) Walk by faith (2 Cor. 5:7). 5) Walk in the Spirit (Gal. 5:16). 6) Walk in good works (Eph. 2:10). 7) Walk worthy (Eph. 4:1) 8) Walk in love (Eph. 5:2) 9) Walk as children of the light (Eph. 5:8). 10) Walk circumspectly (Eph. 5:15). Some additional verses that I didn’t list, but are contained in principle in the above ten would be, (Col. 4:5) walk in wisdom, (2 John 1:6) walk after his commandments, (3rd John 1:6) walk in truth. The Holy Spirit in the above scriptures, has instructed each of us to not only walk after Christ, but to also walk as Christ walked. As we begin to walk in the Spirit the Bible adds additional light as we progress along the way. I wonder how many of us truly understand the manifold wisdom that is available to us as we Walk in the Spirit.
