walk worthy of your call

Paul tells us in Eph. 4, to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which we have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

When we understand that God was the one looking for us and He was the one that chose us, and appointed us to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain. (John 15) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before hand so that we would walk in them? (Eph 2) Then we wouldn't have a problem loving one another, for God is love. We would begin to know one another after the Spirit, not the flesh.

The problem is that we don't realize that we are nothing, outside of Christ. We need to remember that God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. We need to have a sober understanding of which we are, and not to think more highly of ourselves than we should.

God is building His Kingdom, that is one of the reason that Christ came, was to take back what Adam lost. Jesus didn’t come to start another religion, but to take back the Kingdom.

We have to understand that we each have a part, and that we need every part to make the whole. That, which every part supplies, brings the fullness of God.

Let’s be preservers of the unity of the Spirit, and see His Kingdom be established on earth.
