Galatians 6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and on the Israel of God. 1. Christianity is a walk; a free and voluntary motion, an uniform and even motion, a progressive motion, a constant motion. 2. This walk is a walk by rule. A Christian is not a lawless person to range up and down as fancy leads him. 3. The rule is the law of the new creature. The new creature, in the principles and workings of it, is made the ground, the pattern and direction of our obedience, and we frame and square all the actions of our lives according thereunto. 4. The blessed privileges belonging to those who thus walk — peace and mercy. 5. Such are the true Israel: a thousand times greater privilege than to be the children of Abraham's flesh. (W. Burkitt.)
