We find many descriptions of Godly principles of life in our walk. Walking implies movement, doing something, activity, direction, location, and how to walk. These are all important aspects in your life to God and we'll look at some of them.

This is an expression of love by which there is no comparison. More than just giving a life in exchange for another, but to leave the glory of Heaven, to remain in holiness without sin, and to offer it as a price for the world's sin, yours and mine, while we never deserved it. This is the greatest love that could ever be given from God, who is love.

If you are on the path that Jesus Christ laid out, then you are in the race, but it is not a short sprint. This is a race of endurance and it requires the effort of running, not walking. And not only just to compete, but to finish to win. There are many ways to lose and not finish, but to persevere to the end is to win and to win defeats evil and the angels of Satan.

It's a simple conclusion by noting how dear the church is to Jesus by the price He paid for those who have been added to the one church that it is. All are called to be reconciled to Him, but you have to answer in obedience to be unified to Him and be added to the redemption Jesus Christ provides to us, those of the church.

You know when "close" only counts... But salvation doesn't work that way - you're all in or you're all out. Being only one point behind doesn't get you a win. Being close doesn't get you there. Standing just outside the door doesn't put you inside. These are kinda funny statements for things of this world. But for God's plans, the church here on Earth is the Kingdom to be in. The search ends there - don't stop before you get in.

An amusing aside reminds us that if you live with a bunch of turkeys, it's hard to soar with the eagles. Isaiah 40:31 relates to us the strength that is found in the Lord can let us have wings like eagles, run and not get tired and never faint. The Lord is deserving of our hope in His promise.

The apostle Paul took great effort to describe the relationship and what it meant for his association with Jesus Christ. In fact, Jesus was everything to Paul, his whole life, his ambition, life's meaning, and the definition of eternity. So, how much does Jesus mean to you?

The acceptance of all Jesus has to offer, gives rise to the power of a name. The giver of life, remission of sins, and the path to an eternity with God, there's nothing else so meaningful to our life right now.

The protection of the young and innocent is truly the responsibility of those who guardian their existence. But as we mature from childhood, we will be exposed to risk and danger we must remain attentive to. So is our spiritual well being and when it does not grow and mature, it remains vulnerable to being lost. We must feed on the meat of the Word in our growth from the milk of the Word to be strong.

This may be a concept that is difficult to fully understand because of how we may use the term, "care." But with this care comes comes concern, love, and instruction befitting our needs for eternal life - there is no higher call. For our thought, speech, and action must meet that care given for us and our care given to others that has utmost priority.
