The Believer's Walk with Christ
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
‘Walking’ is a rich biblical metaphor. Figures like Enoch, Noah, and Abraham are remembered because they walked with God. Evil kings are remembered because they didn't. All humanity is a parade one way or the other, and Christians must know the difference.
The Believer’s Walk with Christ plumbs nine New Testament passages to unfold this great theme and help us live in step with the Spirit. Written in John MacArthur's direct, accessible style, it is ideal for Bible study groups, church leaders, or individual believers who want to grow in godliness. MacArthur draws on a lifetime of scholarly and pastoral experience to demystify that process and explain clearly what Scripture says about it. He'll help you know what it means to grow in Christian maturity, and how to make it the mark of your life.

“But humility is the most foundational Christian virtue.” (Page 19)
“The believer who walks ‘in a manner worthy of the calling’ with which he has been called is one whose daily living corresponds to his high position as a child of God and fellow heir with Jesus Christ. His practical living matches his spiritual position.” (Page 17)
