Mankind has been given the example of how to live by what Jesus Christ taught and by His actions. Paul instructed Corinth to follow him as he followed Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). When you walk with Christ, you experience a deep inner peace of knowing that the way is right and wholesome. But by following Christ, you will be out of step with the rest of the world. The world does not like those who swim against the flow, so some will often expend much energy trying to conform to this world. The end result of conforming to the world is not happiness and fulfillment; it is heartache and regret.

Sin can be pleasurable for the moment; walking with Christ is pleasurable for eternity. Jesus’ invitation carries with it blessings and a future that includes no more tears, sorrow or fear. Try it. Walk with Him every day—and feel the peace He offers.
