ecame believers in Him that we had no choice. We were in bondage to sin (Romans 6) and sin
reigned over us, but now we are freed from sin (verse 18). We have a choice to do as Jesus did!
When we ask the question WWJD? we are saying that our choice is to do what He would have
done in the same situation. What we need to do is to broaden the question to see if there are
areas in our lives that do not live up to WWJD?
When we consider the implications of the question WWJD? we find that it is greater and
deeper than we first realized. The question goes to the essence of what He was and what we
should be: holy. The answer to the question speaks to us and says:
The one who says he abides in him ought to walk in the same manner as he walked (1
John 2:6)
We need to realize that as believers in Him, we are to walk as He walked. Not only must we
walk His walk in the more obvious ways, but we must learn to walk His walk in those less
obvious ways which are just as important to holy living. If we don t, we are making the Messiah
a partaker in our sin.
When we became believers in the Lord, we became one spirit with Him. Our body members
became members of the Messiah and His Holy Spirit dwells in us.
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Messiah? Shall I then take away
the members of Messiah and make them members of a harlot? May it never be!
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom
you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a
price: therefore glorify God in your body. (1 Corinthians 6:15, 19)
When we sin, He is in us; He is partaking with us: we are defiling His temple. I am sure He
doesn t like that, though He realizes as believers we will sin. We often ignorantly sin because
we don t know the Scriptures as we ought or were mis‐told.
Sometimes, we do it deliberately; even though we know what the Scripture says. But when we
truly repent of our sin (turnaround from our sin), ask forgiveness for our sin and choose to do
what is right, God will forgive us and heal us.
Since He dwells in us, the Lord expects us to live holy lives. We should care what we do with
Him living inside of us. We should ask the question WWJD? and search the Scriptures
diligently to find the answer. To do that, we must put human tradition and doctrine aside in
favor of the Scripture s position and seek to walk as He walked.
That is true discipleship.
