Our Worthy Walk!
"I beseech you to walk worthy
of the calling with which you
were called."
Ephesians 4: 1
Did you grow up among Christians who said,
“Don’t drink, smoke, chew, or go with folks who
do”? Many churches had “lists” of what to avoid
and definitions of worldliness that might include
playing cards, dancing, and shopping Sundays.
Churches are more relaxed with
their
“lists” nowadays, but we must not let
the pendulum go too far in the other
direction.
As Christians, we're to walk worthy of the calling
we have received. It means we must
remember
we're followers of Jesus and there are things we
are to avoid, some thoughts we should reject,
and some habits we ought to change.
They aren’t healthy in body, soul, or testimony.
We don’t violate
our calling or misrepresent our
Savior. Instead, we should have our Christ like
character on full display. It’s not a matter of
legalism but of true spirituality.
Ask the Lord for wisdom in evaluating your
habits and knowing how to walk worthy of
the calling you have received.
"It appears that too many Christians want
to enjoy the thrill of feeling right but
are
not willing to endure the inconvenience
of being right."
A. W. Tozer
