(Nuggets from Colossians 2:6)
At SALVATION, an erstwhile sinner is rescued from the entanglement of sin, the burden of guilt and gets freed from any CONDEMNATION.
Your new life in Christ is truly a gift from God. He’s saved you from the wages of sin and now He’s given you the blessing of a fresh start!
Just as a young child learns to take their first steps under the watchful, loving and encouraging eyes of their parents, your loving Heavenly Father encourages you to take your first steps of faith and to keep on growing. This can be achieved by WALKING IN CHRIST JESUS.
One of the biggest hindrances to walking in the new life in Christ Jesus is trying to hang on to your old life by walking in the same ways you used to walk. To successfully walk in your new life in Christ, you have to continually choose to put off your old self and put on the new one. God is in the business of transforming lives through the power of His Holy Spirit and as you seek Him, He will help you every step of the way. Together you will create new habits to walk more effectively in Him.
He brings newness, and having cleansed the individual, they're qualified to be called children of God. This happens when one says, 'Lord, I believe you, come be my Lord and Savior. I reject sin and its grip.'
After cleansing, reconciliation, and restoration, note that your journey is just beginning. Now, you have to yield to walking in RIGHTEOUSNESS with Him, yearning for SANCTIFICATION, living by His Word daily, choosing His will over yours, and living to please Him.
The moment you decide to WALK IN JESUS, EXPECT PERSECUTIONS.
Having chosen this path, you must make up your mind to follow through and never relent or throw in the towel along the line.
If you want to truly walk in Christ then you need to be a person of God’s Word by abiding in and studying it for yourself. As you regularly study, you will grow in the wisdom and knowledge of Him and He’ll help you navigate life along the way!
Allow the WORD OF GOD to permeate your life knowing He will faithfully transform and renew you through the process.
One acronym for the B.I.B.L.E. is:

To WALK IN JESUS CHRIST successfully, it is imperative to ABIDE IN HIS WORD, do not joke with the BIBLE, not reading it like literature, but studying it to get insight and revelation knowledge from God.
The WORD OF GOD is the most vital key to your discipleship, life, and successful walk in Him. You cannot grow in your walk with Christ without the instructions found in God’s Word!
In addition, you need to WALK BY FAITH, be DEEPLY ROOTED in Christ, be a GOOD SHEEP who is ever-ready to listen to the voice of the GOOD SHEPHERD, and FOLLOW HIS LEAD, RELY on the Holy Spirit to guide you as you navigate through every obstacle, commit yourself to regular prayer and devotion to God, and most importantly, REMAIN IN THE FOLD of God's children as an integral part of the Body of Christ.
IF YOU TAKE THESE STEPS, YOUR WALK WITH CHRIST WILL LEAD YOU INTO A BLISSFUL ETERNITY WITH HIM AT THE END OF YOUR PILGRIMAGE HERE ON EARTH.
