What is the real purpose of Christian living? The real purpose of Christian living is learning how to walk in the Spirit. The Bible constantly compares a Christian’s life with birth, milk, growing, learning, walking, standing, and fighting. So it is reasonable to assume learning how to walk in the Spirit is similar to how a young child first learns to walk in the natural. We learn to walk in the natural with baby steps, and lots of falling down at first. So is it with us when we begin to learn to walk in the Spirit. We find ourselves doing lots of falling and getting back up. But as soon as we have learned how to walk, in the natural, we seldom fall, and so is it in the Spirit. My Children I write to you that you sin not (fall down)! We accomplish not sinning, how? By walking in the Spirit, and that should be our goal. We do not have to continue in sin, we do not have to sin a little everyday. Why? Because Jesus came to save us from our sins and deliver us from the power of sin! He has empowered us, by His Spirit, to simply say "no" to sin and walk in the Spirit, by His power. At first we do more "getting up" than “walking”, but now I have learned to walk in the Spirit and to not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Should we go on sinning so we could get more grace? No Way! God forbid! How can we that have been crucified with Christ continue to go on sinning? So let us walk in the Spirit and continue in His blessings and power. Be blessed.
