WORD OF LIFE BIBLE INS'mUic LIBRARY
As Christians, our primary goal should be to walk as Jesus walked. From the time we first come to know Christ as our Savior until our dying day, we are continually learning how to walk in His footsteps. It is a long and difficult process and not one without trials. Watching an infant take his first steps with a look of absolute determination on his face is ci picture of what our Christian walk should be like. Each step must be carefully marked out as we struggle against the forces that seek to pull us down. Others are always watching to see if we will fall, and often the pressure is great. Sometimes we give up the struggle and allow ourselves to be content with crawling along. But God demands more than thatfrom His children. ■ • • * - V v v f, In today s society, a Christian cannot keep his balance all alone. We need the strength and guiding hand of our Savior to lead us down the narrow road. Many will find that the walk becomes easier when we follow in the footsteps of someone older and wiser who has marked out the way for us to go. As students at the Word of Life Bible Institute, we have the unique opportunity to spend a concentrated period of time learning how to walk. Upon our arrival at the Bible Institute, we were all at different stages of mobility. Some were still infants in the faith, helplessly relying on others to carry them. Others were learning how to crawl; still others had begun the process of walking on their own. As the year progressed and each one became more firmly rooted in their knowledge of God’s word, we all picked up the pace. Through classes, work assignments, ministry opportunities, discipleship, and Christian friends and mentors, we have each gained footholds to help us along the difficult path of this life. The challenge that has been set before us is that in ten, twenty, fifty years from now, will those who have invested their time, knowledge and love in us, be able to say, vl have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children still walk in truth.4>
