Stops & Steps 1806 22Sep2011

Walk in Love


Have you ever come up to a traffic light that has just turned yellow and wondered if you should go through or not? If you do, you just might make it to that appointment in time. But if you stop, you might avoid an accident and someone getting hurt.

The Bible teaches us about how we live.
When we participate in ungodly activities, people get hurt. We must live in such a way that it is pleasing to God and loving to others.

Ephesians 5 : 3
Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God's people

Ephesians 5 : 10
Carefully determine what pleases the Lord

What do these two verses teach us about walking in obedience?

Romans 14 : 13
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way

Romans 13 : 9 – 10
The commandments, 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not covet,' and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law


We are to walk in love. And when our lifestyle reflects love for the Lord and others,
we can be sure we are walking in the right way.

We must also continue to take time to pray asking that God would deepen our love for Him and others so that each day we would walk in love.
