Walking With GodWe should walk in newness of life, i.e., by being

transformed according to the gospel (Rom. 6:4-5; 12:1-2).

We should walk in the Spirit, i.e., in harmony with the Spirit’s teaching (Gal. 5:16-17, 22-25).

We should walk in truth, i.e., in submission to the standard that is reliable and right (2 Cor. 4:1-2; 2 John 4; 3 John 3-4).

We should walk by faith, i.e., in trusting obedience to the will of God (2 Cor. 4:17-5:8).

We should walk in good works, i.e., in active service to God, fellow-Christians, and mankind (Eph. 2:10).

Walking With GodWe should walk in holiness, i.e., in

sanctification and separation from sin (Eph. 4:17-24).

We should walk in love, i.e., in seeking the highest good of God and others (Eph. 5:1-2).

We should walk in light, i.e., according to the illumination of Sacred Scripture (Eph. 5:8-14; 1 John 1:6-7; 2:11).

We should walk in wisdom, i.e., corresponding to God’s perfect plan and pattern (Eph. 5:15-17; cf. Col. 4:5-6).
