1 John 2:6 - What It Means to Abide or Walk with God.

1 John 2:6 (NKJV) He who says he abides in 
Him ought himself also to walk just as He 
walked.  

1 John 2:6 (NLT) Those who say they live in 
God should live their lives as Jesus did.  

1 John 2:6 (TLB) Anyone who says he is a 
Christian should live as Christ did.  

1 John 2:6 (MSG) Anyone who claims to be 
intimate with God ought to live the same kind of life 
Jesus lived.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   I have heard that if you walk three times 
a day at a brisk pace, it can help keep you in 
good shape physically. You wont move as 
quickly as you move when you are running. Walking is 
a regulated motion, but as you do it, you make 
progress. You move forward gradually. 
   If we want to abide in Jesus, we must 
walk as He walked. The Bible says, He who says 
he abides in Him ought himself also to walk 
just as He walked (1 John 2:6). 
   Walking with God is a picture the Bible 
often uses to describe the Christian life. 
Galatians 5:16 says, Walk in the Spirit, and you 
shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 
Colossians 2:6 tells us, As you therefore have 
received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him. 
And in Micah 6:8 we read, He has shown you, O 
man, what is good; and what does the Lord require 
of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to 
walk humbly with your God? 
   Again and again the Bible tells us that 
we need to walk with God. Its something we 
need to commit ourselves to. An interesting verse 
in Amos 3 gives us an important aspect of 
walking with God: Can two walk together, unless 
they are agreed? (verse 3). 
   In the original language, the term 
together carries the concept of two people moving as 
a single unit. To walk with God means moving 
together as a single unit. We are united toward the 
same goal. We are putting our strength toward the 
same end. We are moving together at the same 
pace. 
   To walk with God means that we are moving 
in harmony with Him. We are staying close to 
Him. It is the same concept as abiding. [Greg
