Peter Reid reminds us that walking with Christ isn’t about trying harder in our own strength, but about daily appropriating the indwelling life of Jesus already within us. He emphasizes “as you received Christ, so walk in Him,” meaning spiritual growth happens the same way salvation began: through repentance and faith, not self-effort. He describes repentance as a continual change of mind — from focusing only on sinful actions to recognizing the deeper problem of self-reliance — while faith is learning to entrust ourselves to Christ’s ability rather than our own. Ultimately, the Christian life is an “exchanged life,” where we take daily steps of dependence on Christ, get back up when we fall, and grow from the inside out.
