Walking Worthy

One of the concepts that grabs my attention as I read through the book of Colossians is the concept of walking, especially walking "worthy." We are to walk in Christ as we go through life, but the command is once given (1:10) to walk worthy. Paul prays for the believers that they would grow in their spiritual life and that they would walk worthy of their position as a child of God. God has redeemed us and now He expects us to live as if we are redeemed. Throughout the book of Colossians Paul addresses various aspects of life, including our spiritual behavior, our home life, our conduct at work, etc. Every aspect of life ought be ruled by the principles of the Word. Walking worthy means that we need to no only be familiar with the direct commands of Scripture, but also understand the principles that are derived from God's Word. Let us each commit to walk worthy of the position that we have in Christ.
