08 Walking Worthy of the Calling (Pt 2b - In the World - Living a Sanctified Life)

* Paul shared with the Ephesian believers the greatness of their calling and then challenged them to "Walk worthy of the calling with which [they] were called." * Two weeks ago, we saw Paul's challenge for them to "Walk worthy" in the body. Understanding our calling, leads for a desire to see unity and synergy in the body of Christ. We will recognize that we have one hope which is founded in us having one Lord, one faith, one baptism ... knowing there is only one God! * Last week, we began looking at we live out this calling individually ... while we are walking in the world. We used to "walk" according to course of the world, but now we are changed. No longer are we to think like the rest of Gentiles in the futility of their mind. Rather, we are to have the mind of Christ and put on the new man which is created by God in true righteousness and holiness. * Paul called upon the believers to live a transformed life. * Today, we continue in the midst of that challenge with commands ... not requests ... for us to WALK differently. Having the mind of Christ and being taught by Him ... we ought to Walk in Love, Walk in Light, and Walk in Wisdom! * This message was presented on August 28, 2022 by Bob Corbin.
