1 John 2:6

Whoever says he abides in Him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked (1 John 2:6).

So how do we actually walk in the same way in which Jesus did?
Lets look at the Scriptures for a game plan..............

Walk by the Spirit
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. Galatians 5:15-17

Put to death sin
For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Romans 8:16

Be equipped with the full armor of God
Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Ephesians 6: 10-13

Stay constant in prayer
Pray without ceasing. 1 Thess 5:17 Sanctified in the WordSanctify them in the truth; your WORD is truth. John 17:17

Lord, I pray that you give us the strength to walk in the same way that you walked. Keep us constant in prayer, steady in your word and Spirit empowered to war against sin. Give us the desire to want to be more like you everyday and do in us whatever it takes to make us that way. May we continually walk in the Spirit and not gratify our sinful nature so we can constantly bear more fruit and bring Glory to you. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN!
