Ephesians 4:1-3 - "I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
If we look at the life of Apostle Paul, he always claimed himself as a 'prisoner for the Lord' and a 'bonded labor'. This shows his humility and a life which is totally surrendered to God, being dead to ourself (our flesh) and being alive in Christ. A life of complete dependance on God irrespective of His blessings over our lives.
What does it mean to "walk with God"? First, that the prevailing power of enmity in a person's heart has been taken away by the blessed Spirit of God. Secondly, that the person has actually been reconciled to God the Father. Thirdly, that the person has an abiding communion and fellowship with the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. Finally, walking with God implies our making progress in our spiritual life and walking which requires a progressive motion and we need to walk by faith, not by sight.
We need to walk worthy of our calling which means that we need to maintain a blameless life, being humble, gentle and patient; upholding and encouraging one another and above all we need to spread the gospel of 'love' as God loves us unconditionally (without measure).
Have A Blessed Day!
God Bless
Every Day With Jesus
