WORTHY WALK

BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:1-6

MEMORY VERSE: "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called" (EPHESUS 4:1)

According to John Riper; to walk worthy of the Lord means to, "Act in a way that fits the great value and glorious nature of God and the gospel and your calling." The Christian walk is worthy when it is in conformity with the word of God. God does not hide His will from His children. Christ remains our model and we must ask Him for grace to live like Him always. He is holy, harmless, humble, honest and humane. So must we.

Believers are to shine as lights in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation. Real Christians don't tell lies or live in unrighteousness, but love what God loves and hates what He hates. Dear friend, your life must show that you are a new creature in Christ. Your life must be different from what it used to be. The old sinful life of lying, stealing, fighting, uncleanness, immorality, violence, wickedness, etc., must be dropped. You must make up your mind to live a disciplined life, pray always and set your love on heavenly things.

💭QUOTE: Christ remains our model.

🤔 CHALLENGE: Let others see Jesus in you.

🙏 PRAYER: Help me, dear Lord, to walk in your steps.
