Our Walk

“And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” Genesis 5:24

What kind of review did Enoch’s lifestyle get him?
“... he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God.” Hebrews 11:5

Are you looking for that kind of accolade?
How is it that we please God?
By obedience. By holy living.
In a sense, your desire to please God is evidence you will spend eternity with Him.

“And by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.” I John 2:3

Paul’s prayer recorded in Colossians was that this would be the experience of his brethren. Paul prayed that theirs would be a lifestyle worthy of the Lord, and that they would please Him. Colossians 1:10

A worthy walk is a walk in fellowship with Him. This is your calling.

“God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” I Cor. 1:9

Fellowship, by it’s very nature, is a two-way communication and caring. You know that God cares about the most intimate details that concern you.

Do you reciprocate? How about God’s honor. Does your walk, your lifestyle, bring Him honor?

Wonderfully indebted to Him, we have no other alternative but to love Him and live for Him.
