This information is for babes in Christ, those mature in the faith, those who may not believe in Jesus Christ at all.
Romans 6: 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
This scripture from Romans 6 as you can see, beforehand Paul asked the question shall we go on sinning so that Gods grace shall abound? Paul says and states God forbid.
Being buried with Christ is a term of dying to ourselves and our own ways of awe lived our life before ever coming to the Cross of Christ; and accepting the Lord Jesus Christ into our heart (or allowing God to move in by the Holy Spirit), and being raised again with Christ; as the Father raised Christ Jesus from the dead. Meaning that believers are raised into being resurrected with Christ in being spiritually reborn; giving new life to the believer. They now have a new life in Christ; by the Holy Spirit/spirit of Christ living with-in them.
What was our old former life like?
Lets look at what Jesus Christ said about our fleshly heart in Mark 7:20 And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy,pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
AS you can see it is very clear what are our flesh is like, our heart and the thoughts that proceed from it.
What does being raised with Christ look like?
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Faith:
2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Here we have a scripture from Paul making a statement to the Church of Corinth, that we walk by faith, not by sight. If you look up faith in Greek you will find the word Pistis. It means Gods Divine Persuasion; to the believer. It's a willful persuasion of promises that come from God through the Lord Jesu sChrist when He is going around teaching the nation of Israel; the lost sheep of Israel. When you go and read what the Lord Jesus Christ has to say that is a offer from God of the promises that are made. You can willfully make a decision to believe in those promises or not. Faith is also, trust and confidence in God who is a deliverer.
Spirituality
Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
What did we just go over above in Mark 7? What does Jesus Christ say about the desires of our flesh? Mark 7:20 And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy,pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
But - if we walk by the spirit? What happens? The Flesh slowly dies away, when you are feeding on the word of God that is provided for us to learn about Yahweh, and the Lord Yeshua Christ. Believers do not live on bread alone but every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
Consistency:
Ephesians 4:1 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,
This is Paul writing to the Ephesians to encourage them to continue to walk in a manner worthy of the calling which you have been called. If you are a believe sin Christ Jesus; it is clear we are to walk and serve God, having love for God first, and to have love for others no matter who they may be. In walk-in in a manner that is worthy. What would be the best suggestion from scripture to help us in our walk? To walk in faith, by the spirit, trusting God, and praying and learning about Gods son our Lord Jesus Christ.
Caution
Ephesians 5: 15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
Colossians 2: 6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
This right here is a huge chunk of our walk wit God, and the Lord Yeshua. Let your lives be built on Christ. Build on the already laid foundation a house for yourself in trusting in God and the Lord Jesus Christ. If you abide in the vine, your faith will grow strong in the truth and fruit will be produced, in and through by the Spirit of Christ. You will overflow with thankfulness if you continue to follow Him. That is a choice on your part. You can either was as wise men, or unwise men or women. That choice is totally up to you.
Light
1 John 1: 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
What would this ultimately mean for a believer? To walk in love, and in the light. Not the darkness of hating on another. Let the light come into your heart to break away all the darkness that has held you back for so long if there is darkness there. No one can be perfect in the fleshly sense but in a spiritual sense people can become mature in faith, I do believe.
Never let go of the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ; always continue to pray and call out to the Father for He is a God of Deliverance.
Christlikeness
1 John 2: 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
This is another reminder of if anyone says they Love God, yet hate their brother they are in darkness. Christ did not hate anyone. Walk as Christ did, in mercy, forgiveness, love, forbearance. Walk knowing that the spirit of Christ is in you.
Hope this is helpful to your walk as a believe sin the Lord Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven. Seek to embrace light, not darkness.
