Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station.

On today's edition of Pathway to Victory, we see walking is the most common metaphor in the Bible for our relationship with God.

Over 300 times, the Old Testament uses the word walk or walking. That's what the Christian life is.

It's going the same direction obeying God over a period of time, and when you do that you end up at your desired destination.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

Sometimes the Bible uses running as a metaphor for the Christian life, but more often the Christian life is compared to walking with God.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress presents four simple principles from the life of Abraham that will transform your relationship with God.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message. Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory. You often hear me say that becoming a Christian is not a one-time event.

Yes, becoming a Christian starts the day you trust in Christ as your Savior, but your salvation is only the beginning of your walk with God.

Every morning when you wake up, you're starting a whole new day in Christ.

Right now on Pathway to Victory, I'm presenting a brand new teaching series called Walking by Faith.

In this study we're tracing the footsteps of the Grand Patriarch of Old Testament Faith, Abraham, the friend of God.

As we see how Abraham engaged with the Lord, we learn wonderful lessons about our personal walk with God today.

Now to help you grow closer to God, I've written a brand new book for you called Walking by Faith.

At its core, my book is a practical tutorial on how to connect with God throughout the day.

Yes, prayer is part of that connection, but walking with God includes so many other wonderful opportunities to engage with Him.

Please request your copy of my book Walking by Faith. I'm pleased to send it to your home when you give a generous gift to support the ministry of Pathway to Victory.

And by the way, today's message includes far more teaching than we could include in this half-hour program.

Later on, David will explain how you can receive the unedited CDs and DVDs so that you can hear the complete presentation.

More information later in the program, but right now, let's turn to Genesis chapter 17 for a message I've titled Walking with Your God.

A number of years ago, I heard Chuck Swindall recount an article on the advantages of walking versus running.
