Walk Worthy

(eph 4:1-8) therefore i, the prisoner of the lord, implore you to [color=darkred]walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,[/color] 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. there is one body and one spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one lord, one faith, one baptism, one god and father of all who is over all and through all and in all. but [color=darkred]to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of christ's gift[/color]. therefore it says, "when he ascended on high, he led captive a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men." walk in the light, walk in the spirit, walk worthy (rom 12:1-3) therefore i urge you, brethren, by the mercies of god, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to god, which is your spiritual service of worship. and do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of god is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. [color=darkred]for through the grace given to me i say to everyone among you [/color]not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to [color=darkred]think so as to have sound judgment, as god has allotted to each a measure of faith.[/color] walk worthy that you may offer acceptable sacrifices (phi 3:13-20) brethren, i do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing i do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, i press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of god in christ jesus. [color=darkred]let us therefore, as many as are perfect (mature, complete), have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, god will reveal that also to you;[/color] however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained. (1jo 1:6-10) if we say that we have [color=darkred]fellowship with him [/color]and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have [color=darkred]fellowship with one another[/color], and the blood of jesus his son cleanses us from all sin. if we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. if we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us. walk in the light as he is in the light (zec 3:1-7) and he sheweth me joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of jehovah, and the adversary standing at his right hand, to be an adversary to him. and jehovah saith unto the adversary: `jehovah doth push against thee, o adversary, yea, push against thee doth jehovah, who is fixing on jerusalem, is not this a brand delivered from fire?' and joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing before the messenger. and he answereth and speaketh unto those standing before him, saying: `turn aside the filthy garments from off him.' and he saith unto him, `see, i have caused thine iniquity to pass away from off thee, so as to clothe thee with costly apparel.' he also said, `let them set a pure diadem on his head. and they set the pure diadem on his head, and clothe him with garments. and the messenger of jehovah is standing, and the messenger of jehovah doth protest to joshua, saying: `thus said jehovah of hosts: [color=darkred]if in my ways thou dost walk, and if my charge thou dost keep,[/color] then also thou dost judge my house, and also thou dost keep my courts, and i have given to thee conductors among these standing by.(ylt) walk in his ways ,that you may walk worthy, that you may walk among the stones of fire and dwell amidst the everlasting burnings (2pe 1:5-11) and this same also--all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith

the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge, and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love; for these things being to you and abounding, do make you neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our lord jesus christ, for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins; wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble, for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into the age-during reign of our lord and saviour jesus christ.(ylt) be diligent to make steadfast your calling and election (eze 28:14-16) you were the anointed cherub that covers, and i had put you in the holy height of god where you were; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. you were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until iniquity was found in you. by the multitude of your goods they have filled your midst with violence, and you have sinned. so i cast you profaned from the height of god, and i destroy you, o covering cherub, from among the stones of fire. (rev 12:9-12) and the great dragon was cast forth--the old serpent, who is called `devil,' and `the adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world--he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him. and i heard a great voice saying in the heaven, `now did come the salvation, and the power, and the reign, of our god, and the authority of his christ, because cast down was the accuser of our brethren, who is accusing them before our god day and night; and[color=darkred] they did overcome him because of the blood of the lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life--unto death[/color]; because of this be glad, ye heavens, and those in them who do tabernacle; woe to those inhabiting the land and the sea, because the devil did go down unto you, having great wrath, having known that he hath little time.' humble yorself under the mighty hand of god and at the fulness of time he will lift you up. let patience have its perfect work that you may be complete and entire lacking nothing. a haughty spirit comes before a fall. behold i saw satan fall like lightning out of the heavens. it is common to be angry when we fall for our shortness of time becomes clearer as we draw near the earth.

(jam 3:13-16) who among you is wise and understanding? let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. but if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. this wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. for where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. in the heavenly realms in christ jesus there is righteousness peace and joy because eternity is our tabernacle. that where i am, there you may be also. being. dwelling. abiding. tabernacling. together. serving one another. forgiving one another. exhorting one another as we see the day approaching.

(jam 3:17,18) but the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. and the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. the wrath of man does not accomplish the righteousness of god. he that tries to save his own life will lose it the one who exalts himself shall be abased

with the measure you mete it shall be meted unto you soldier, servant, sheperd...... all lowly callings. walk worthy stay low brothers and sisters. (eph 5:2) and walk in love, as christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to god for a sweetsmelling savour. (2co 6:2) for he says, "at the acceptable time i listened to you, and on the day of salvation i helped you." behold, now is "the acceptable time," behold, now is "the day of salvation"-(rom 15:15,16) but i have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from god, to be a minister of christ jesus to the gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of god, so that my offering of the gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the holy spirit.
