Col 1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God
This is the desire-
That we WALK worthy of the LORD unto ALL pleasing.
BEING fruitful in every GOOD WORK.
INCREASING in the KNOWLEDGE of GOD.
We live, we breath, we exist and because of this our lives are filled with actions. All but a very few in the grand scheme of things are busy day in and day out simply living in their own little world. I say all but a very few because there are some people who are paralyzed and their every move is made by another. The majority are busy though, even if their existence is boring, monotonous, mundane, they are committing actions - and their actions are their works and their works reveal a lot- but not all- about the way they believe.
We need to LIVE worthy of the LORD.
We must LIVE pleasingly for the LORD.
We have to LIVE being fruitful in good works for the LORD.
We must LIVE increasing our KNOWLEDGE of GOD.
Would the LORD be please with how you live? Seriously, you have to have some idea about that. We have to know otherwise why are people told to live this way if they can't know? That would make no sense whatsoever. We know whether or not we are increasing our knowledge of God, right? We know whether we are committing fruitful good works- works that our SAVIOR worked, living to reveal HIS FATHER. We live to REVEAL the sacrifice of our SAVIOR. He came to SAVE US! And we must reveal this in our lives. When we reveal this- we are preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom- when we preach the Gospel of the Kingdom then Jesus our Savior is reveal and when our Savior is reveal the Father is revealed. THIS is how we should live. Yet it is far from how most of us truly live.
We get so caught up in our existence here we neglect the very real truth of our future existence with our Savior.
If we lived as if our Savior would return for us tomorrow what would we do differently?
We are supposed to watch for His return. We are supposed to be ready. We are not supposed to live our lives in an ignorant stupor, but be prepared. If we do fall asleep we must do so be prepared. To prepare for our Savior's return we must live as He told us to live in His word. We must live as the Holy Spirit guides us to live. We must love Him, we must love others. We cannot neglect the actions we are to make here, the works we are to do, we have to live for our Savior now if we imagine we will truly one day live with Him forever.
In HIS LOVE!
