If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

"If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit."

Recall that in verse 16 of this same chapter, in the phrase Walk in the Spirit, is "peripateo." But here "walking" is a different Greek word: it is "stoichomen", which is basic and elementary, and means "to advance or take a step in order". In verse 16 we were given the beginning to walk; here in verse 25 means learning to walk, to walk. Just as we learned to walk physically by the method of trying and making mistakes, we have to begin to walk in the Spirit. It is a learning process.

Let us illustrate this with a fairly simple example. What is walking? Well, it's putting one foot in front of the other. This means then, learning to walk. Now, how did you learn to walk? Did you go to a school or a special institution where they taught a course to learn to walk? When you have a baby, you do not offer practical demonstrations about walking to observe and imitate later. So you do not learn to walk. One learns by experimenting, testing, falling.

In the same way we have to learn to walk in the Spirit. Through trials, tests, successes and failures. We know people who have attended all the biblical conferences that may exist; They have filled their notebooks with tips on how to live the Christian life, but they are not living it yet. What is the problem?

It is that one has to learn to walk in the Spirit, which means that he has to start, throw himself at once. And why not start now? For example, I could make the following decision: "I am going to walk in the Spirit, I will depend on the Holy Spirit to produce the fruits in my life." Maybe you are thinking that you could fall. Well, I have news for you. You are going to fall. And it will hurt. We do not know how many times it will fall. Many of us are still falling. But it will be the way you are going to walk in the Spirit, and it is the only way to do it. Dear listener, you need to take the first steps and begin to lean on the Spirit of God. Surrender to Him. Remember that it is an act of the will.

I try to start each day saying: "Lord, I can not live today in a way that pleases you, and I want you to do it through me."

Suppose you are writing a very important letter to a person, and want to give the best possible impression, not only by the way you express yourself in the letter, but also by the presentation of it. And you do everything possible to clearly expose your ideas, using the best language you know. However, despite all this effort, you make a mistake. Try to correct it and move on, but commit another and another. And in the end he decides that it is better to start the letter again. And so, a new letter begins again. Well, dear listener, why not do that also with your life? Give yourself, lean on the Spirit of God and start walking today in the Spirit.
