1 Peter 2:21, [kjv]
God's Word says, " For even hereunto were ye called; because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps."
We are called to see the example of Christ, to see his walk. He becomes our example, forerunner, and King. We hear him. We call him Lord because we have taken his yoke upon us. We have learned that he is meek and lowly, and we come to realize from his walk of life what we have learned from him.
We must see the blessedness of those who hear his words and do them. And they do them from the heart.
Jesus says to those people, in Matthew 7:24-25, " Therefore whosoever hearth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man,which built his house upon a rock; And the rain desended, and the floods, came, and the winds blew, and beat upon the house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock. [kjv]
Do you see that the " sayings " of our Lord Jesus, or the Word of God, is the rock, or the foundation, upon which our walk must correspond? It is upon the Word of God that we must build our walk of life.
We build upon him and his " sayings " as our foundation, not upon ourselves. That becomes the graciousness; when all the storms come against us and beat upon us, we will stand the test and not fall because we built upon the authority of the Word of God.
Are you found walking in " his steps " today?
What other alternative is there for a true believer?
