Philippians 1:27\u00a0 <\/span>Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Colossians 1:10<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0so as to 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;<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>2 Peter 3:11<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>1 Thessalonians 2:11-12<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For you know how, like a father with his children,\u00a0\u00a0we 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Walking in a manner worthy of God totally depends on how we know, understand, and see God.\u00a0 <\/span>If we see Him as absent and far away, or if our understanding of Him is nothing more than a concept, we fail in our knowledge of Him.\u00a0 <\/span>If we see Him as far away (not present)\u00a0 <\/span>we will allow sinful thoughts, spoken words, and actions into our daily lives. If all we understand of Him is conceptually (theoretically) then we have no mature knowledge, faith, hope, trust, or reliance.\u00a0 <\/span>When we see, understand, and grow in our knowledge of God omniscient – all-knowing, God omnipresent – present everywhere, God omnipotent – all-powerful, we will start to understand why Jesus, Paul, David, Peter, James, Job, Abraham, Moses, Elijah. Elisha, etc\u2026\u2026 keep reminding over and over again who God is and why it is important to walk in a manner worthy of Him.\u00a0 <\/span>How this life-walk manifests its self in our lives is a direct reflection of our maturity, understanding, and knowledge of Him. It is sad to say many Christian\u2019s walks paints a very shallow understanding and knowledge of Him.\u00a0 <\/span>The words they speak and the actions of their lives reflect much closer to a person who does not give God a passing thought than a child of God. Meditate on His Word, read it, study it, write down your thoughts with a desire and seeking that God will and does open up the eyes to our hearts and minds of Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
