Abide and Walk

He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
I John 2:6 (NKJV)
If someone were to ask for a show of hands as to who abides in Christ, most likely each of us would quickly and eagerly raise our hand. But saying we abide in Christ is different than actually abiding in Christ. And the test for it, as stated here, is whether we walk as He walked. Are we living our lives in such a way that matches to Christ? Are the things we say the things that Christ would have said? Are the things we do things that Christ would have done? Or are we walking as we want to walk, and simply claiming to abide in Christ?
