Learning to walk with Christ is less about perfection and more about transformation. In Ephesians 4:17–24, Paul vividly describes leaving the old life behind and embracing the new identity we have in Jesus. Like John Newton, rescued from the depths of sin and inspired to write Amazing Grace, we too have been found, changed, and called to live differently. Yet even as new creations, we wrestle with lingering desires of the flesh and the habits of a world that once defined us.

Paul urges believers to live as those enlightened by truth. The world may appear intelligent and alluring, but it walks in spiritual darkness, blind to God’s ways. In contrast, through the Spirit, our minds are renewed, and we are no longer bound by the deceitful desires that once led us astray. This new life calls us to “take off” the old self and “put on” the new, clothed in righteousness and holiness.

This message carries both warning and promise. It warns against complacency in sin, yet assures us that through Christ’s power, victory is possible. The call to “learn to walk” is a daily invitation to renewal—in heart, mind, and purpose. Each step of obedience becomes a testimony of Christ’s transforming power, shining before a world watching for evidence of God’s grace at work.
