A Worthy Walk, Part 2

“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. There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.”  Ephesians 4:1-6

Reflecting on the moral and ethical decline of our nation, some of Christianity’s leading voices have pinpointed what they believe to be a major contributor - the lack of absolutes. Too few believe their conduct falls under any authority other than their own personal desires.

Clearly contrasted are Paul’s words, pointing to the reality that there certainly is an absolute, and His name is “God the Father”! When an individual, a family, a community, a nation conducts itself as if there are no absolutes, they soon turn from their original step of self realization to self-destruction and collapse.

Are you living by the absolutes which are clearly laid out in Scripture? Much of our confusion evaporate under the heat of the searchlight of God’s Word. The false philosophies of the world simply melt before the scrutiny of the truth.

The pathway to discovering our identity in Christ is marked by Paul’s insightful teaching throughout the epistles. Read for yourself the liberating truths concerning who you really are in Christ. Then walk a worthy walk before others.

What can you count on these days? You can hear that on any street corner. Who has the answer?
