Walk Worthy of Your Calling

“Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:1-3

When the President of the United States conducts himself in a questionable, moral, or ethical manner our culture immediately questions his “worthiness” to occupy such a noble position. Each believer, regardless of age or status, is commanded by the Father to “walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called” (Eph. 4:1).

We are called to be holy, inwardly set apart from the motivations of the world and externally set apart from the unbiblical actions of our culture. “Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus...” (2 Tim. 1:9).

The worthiness of our walk therefore is measure by our progressive reflection of the character and nature of Christ in our various circles of concern. The more we reflect the heart and mind of God in our activities, the more worthy our walk and the more we affirm the reality of our heavenly calling. Can others tell you are born of God and have His nature? Does your walk demonstrate your new position in Christ.

“For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son...” Romans 8:29
