Synopsis: John teaches us that an important part of being in fellowship with God is that we walk as He walked. To do this we must consider how he walked in the world and then be ready to imitate Him. Perhaps more importantly, this reminds us that truth is for doing. Thoughts from this lesson from Martyn Lloyd-Jones in Studies in 1 John: Walking with God and Jim McGuiggan ( http://www.jimmcguiggan.com/weekly2.asp?id_message=58 )

1. Walk
Just As
HE Walked
1 John 2.6, CB NT p. 420

2. “Not to know that any
Christian spirit working
kindly in its little sphere,
whatever it may be, will find
its mortal life too short for
its vast means of
usefulness. Not to know
that no space of regret can
make amends for one life’s
opportunity misused!”
—A Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens

3. “Mankind was my business.
The common welfare was
my business; charity,
mercy, forbearance, and
benevolence, were, all, my
business.”
—A Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens

4. “The dealings of my trade
were but a drop of water in
the comprehensive ocean of
my business!”
—A Christmas Carol
Charles Dickens

5. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his
commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in
him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the
love of God is perfected. By this we may know
that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him
ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
1 John 2:4-6; CB NT p. 429

6. How did Jesus walk?

7. Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of
him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
John 4:34; CB NT p. 168

8. “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and
my judgment is just, because I seek not my own
will but the will of him who sent me.
John 5:30; CB NT p. 170

9. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my
own will but the will of him who sent me.
John 6:38; CB NT p. 173

10. So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up
the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he,
and that I do nothing on my own authority, but
speak just as the Father taught me. And he who
sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I
always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
John 8:28-29; CB NT p. 178

11. but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that
the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let
us go from here.
John 14:31; CB NT p. 193

12. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in
my love, just as I have kept my Father's
commandments and abide in his love.
John 15:10; CB NT p. 193

13. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the
work that you gave me to do.
John 17:4; CB NT p. 196

14. How did Jesus walk?

15. “He went about doing good
and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for
God was with him.”
Acts 10:38, CB NT p. 227

16. For to this you have been called,
because Christ also suffered for you,
leaving you an example, so that you
might follow in his steps.
1 Peter 2:21; CB NT p. 410

17. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in
his mouth.
1 Peter 2:22; CB NT p. 410

18. Purity

19. Rightousness

20. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return;
when he suffered, he did not threaten, but
continued entrusting himself to him who judges
justly.
1 Peter 2:23; CB NT p. 410

21. Love

22. Serving

23. Humility

24. Compassion

25. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his
commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in
him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the
love of God is perfected. By this we may know
that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him
ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
1 John 2:4-6; CB NT p. 429

26. How did Jesus walk?

27. Truth is for
DOING!

28. Truth is for
DOING!

29. If we say we have fellowship with him while we
walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the
truth.
1 John 1:6; CB NT p. 419

30. whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the
same way in which he walked.
1 John 2:6; CB NT p. 420

practices righteousness is righteous, as he is
righteous.

in deed and in truth.

does them will be like a wise man who built his
house on the rock.

of the earth

Matthew 5:16; CB NT p. 7

to be a worker
for the Lord

and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.

39. Look carefully then how
you walk, not as unwise
but as wise, making the
best use of the time,
because the days are evil.
