Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Monday, May 18th.

Are you walking in step with Christ?

Today, we launch a series designed to help you align your life with the Lord.

Here's Dr. Stanley with the message that begins our journey and walking in step with God.

Have you noticed if you're walking with someone rather briskly and you're walking in step

with each other, it seems to be easier to walk, more freely, more pleasurably?

There's just something about walking in step, and then somebody gets out of step, and

just psychologically, something just happens on the inside of you.

Well, the same thing is true, and you're now talking about walking with God, walking with

the Lord Jesus Christ.

Walking with Him, and step with Him is one thing.

Out of step is something entirely different.

And I want you to turn to the fourth chapter of Ephesians, and this is where I want us to begin

in this message, and I want us just to read those first three verses of that chapter, and while

you're turning there, the first three chapters of Ephesians is all about what God has done for us

and our salvation experience, and then the awesome spiritual treasures that are ours as a

result of that. Then when he comes to the fourth chapter, he talks about how we're to live.

How we're to live on the basis of two things, who we are and what we have. Who we are, we are

followers of Jesus Christ. And what we have is we have him living on the inside of

us, living his life in and through us.

And throughout Paul's epistles, he's reminding us that we're in Christ and he's in

us, and he's working and living his life out through us.
