A Worthy Walk

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” — John 3:16 “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” — John 11:40 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” — Hebrews 11:6 “For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.” — 1 Thessalonians 2:9–12 We wait with purpose when we walk in a manner worthy of God. “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, striving side by side for the faith of the gospel.” — Philippians 1:27 “I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called.” — Ephesians 4:1 “I pray that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” — Colossians 1:9-10 1. An example of Godly conduct. The Christian life is marked by sacrifice. “You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers.” — 1 Thessalonians 2:10 Christians, the way you live will push people toward Jesus or pull them away from Him. 2. An exhortation to behave like a child of God. “For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.” — 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 Live in submission to the King. Walking in a manner worthy of God is a heart issue. When our hearts are aligned with God, our behaviors naturally follow.
