Walking Worthy As Christians

Ephesians 4:1-15

Here is the question that each of us must answer: “In light of all that God has done for me, how now should I live?”  “I should live in a way that reflects the gratitude I feel for what God has done for me.” “And why should I seek to live such a life?” Two reasons: “First of all, I am grateful and I want God to know that what He has done for me was not in vain. Jesus dying for me has caused a great change in me. Secondly, there are many still out there who do not know Jesus and I understand Scripture to teach that God’s plan is to use me to draw them to Himself.”

Being a Christian is a calling.  Paul speaks of the “vocation wherewith ye are called.”  The word vocation means calling.  He means “God has called you.”  What does that mean?  It means that Christianity is not something that you are born into.  It is not something that you inherit or something that you earn.  Being a Christian is not something that you apply for and qualify to be.  No, it is a calling.  No one is worthy of being a Christian.  The only reason that anyone is a Christian is because of God’s call.  God has called you.
