Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
‘Walking’is a rich biblical metaphor. Figures like Enoch, Noah, and Abraham are remembered because they walked with God. Evil kings are remembered because they didn’t. All humanity is a parade one way or the other, and Christians must know the difference. The Believer’s Walk with Christ plumbs nine New Testament passages to unfold this great theme and help us live in step with the Spirit. MacArthur will help you know what it means to grow in Christian maturity, and how to make it the mark of your life.


My Review:
The Believer's Walk with Christ is an in-depth Bible study on "what does it mean to walk with Christ?" The author examined nine New Testament passages that talk about different aspects of the Christian walk. He would take each passage and provide verse-by-verse commentary (including word studies). The tone was formal and somewhat academic rather than casual. The commentary was very focused on what Scripture has to say about our walk with Christ. The verses covered were Ephesians 4:1-6, Ephesians 4:17-24, Romans 6:1-10, Galatians 5:16-25, 1 John 2:3-6, 1 John 1:6-7, Ephesians 5:1-7, 2 John 1-4, and 2 Corinthians 5:6-10. Overall, I'd recommend this Bible study to those interested in what the Bible says about this topic.
