Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 John 2:6

"he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked." — 1 John 2:6 (ASV)

He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

What a walk would that be! How holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners is the man who tries to walk even as Christ walked.

"Lord, I desire to live as one
Who bears a blood-bought name,
As one who fears but grieving you,
And knows no other shame.
As one by whom your walk below
Should never be forgot.
As one who willingly would keep apart
From all you do not love."

He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Abiding in Christ helps us to live as Christ lived; not, as one well observes, that we can walk on the water as Christ walked upon it, but that we can walk in our daily life even as he did, because we abide in him.
