Christianity is all about consciousness of the divine nature of God. This is because, God has also mindset and so he expect all of us to have that mindset else our Christian walk will be an endless walk in frustration.Because of our fragile nature as human beings, God expect us to lay hold of His nature and walk in such realm. Our Lord Jesus Christ died to make that TRUTH a reality in our lives.

In 2 Corinthians 5: 21. The word of teaches us that , We are being made the righteousness of God by reason of the dead and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Being made the righteousness of God is by the virtue of God's divine nature and he expects all of us to have this mindset and walk in it. As believers, we should know that God's ultimate purpose is for us to be born again and still wonder about living our former life, but rather he expect us to grow and mature into the full stature of Christ, hence expressing the divine nature day by day. On a daily basis, we must press on towards becoming overcomes by works because this is the call of all believers.
Philippians 3: 14, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
This was the greater desire of the Apostle Paul and so it must be our desire to also express the divine life as human beings on this earth.
Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
The scripture enumerate about 5 kinds of walks in the bible which will enable the believer to express the divine to attain maturity. Each level signifies a level of maturity in the believer's walk in the Spirit and his progression to the fullness of Christ.Whenever you come across the walk in the Bible, it does not have the same limits in understanding and application as the English meaning of the word.

In Galatians 5:16, the Greek word translated walk is Peripateo, which means to show proof of ability. In Peripateo you show proof of your divinity, which is all that God had deposited in you that is power, authority and dominion. It establishes you in your vocation in Christ.
Ephesians 4
[1]I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called. To walk worthy is the English translation of the Greek phase Peripateo axios. It means to show proof of ability after the Godly sort. At Peripateo you express the divine life of God deposited in your Spirit. I'm this walk, you can boldly declare as He is so am I. Peripateo denotes the natural walk of the believer as an outcome of his inherent divine nature.
This tells us that, every believer should have this consciousness of his divine nature as deposited by Jesus Christ. In His life on earth, Jesus expressed Peripateo greatly and enjoy Ed his disciples to come to this realm of operation as seen in the encounter on the sea in Matthew 24:25-29. Jesus enjoined Peter to operate in faith and walk with him on the water. The walk of Peripateo is a walk of faith grounded on the reality of the life of God at work in the believer. Ephesians 2
[10]For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. We are to walk Peripateo in them.
