MSITN VITAL DOCTRINES – CHRISTOLOGY

A PRAYER FOR THE COLOSSIANS II

That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.”

Colossians 1:10

WALKING WORTHY OF THE LORD

1. The word “walk” is to be understood figuratively.

a. It is a word that is used idiomatically.
b. The word “walk” may be used as an idiomatic phrase, “from all walks of life”.

2. In Biblical literature it is used to describe:

a. The Christian lifestyle in the world.
b. The believer’s relationship with God.

3. What does it mean to “walk worthy of the Lord”?

a. To walk worthy of the price the Lord Jesus paid to redeem our souls.
b. To walk worthy of our calling:
i. As children of God.
ii. As disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.
iii. As faithful servants of God.

4. Three aspects were highlighted by the Apostle Paul.

a. “Fully pleasing Him”
i. We are not to be men-pleasers.
ii. We are to focus on doing that which is well-pleasing to God.
iii. The Lord Jesus is our supreme example.

“When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’”

Matthew 3:16-17

b. “Being fruitful in every good work”
i. Being fruitful was certainly the focus of the Lord Jesus Christ.
ii. The Lord Jesus taught His Disciples how they may be fruitful.
iii. Take time to read John 15 about being fruitful.
c. “And increasing in the knowledge of God”
i. The knowledge of God is deep and profound.
ii. Every believer must pray about increasing in the knowledge of God.
iii. Paul was an example of one who sought to increase his knowledge of God.

“That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death”

Philippians 3:10
