Understanding Your Calling (1 Samuel 3:1-21)

Send us Fan Mail

And so, friends, what we look at today, in a sense, is the heart of the Christian life. We are called to walk worthy of our calling. To live in a way that reflects the One who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light.

Paul says: Don’t walk like the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their minds. Don’t drift back to what you once were. Instead, put off the old self, be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, created according to God in true righteousness and holiness.

That means walking in righteousness — doing what is right because it’s right, because it pleases the Lord.
It means walking in love — seeking the highest good of others, speaking the truth in love.
And it means walking in wisdom — bringing together righteousness and love in a way that reflects the mind of Christ.

And when you live like that, when you walk in that way, it will have an impact. On your family. In your workplace. In your church. Even on the people who happen to be sitting next to you in a waiting room, because light cannot help but shine.

So, as you go about your week, remember this simple calling:
 Walk in righteousness. Walk in love. Walk in wisdom.
 That’s what it means to walk worthy of your calling in Christ.

And may the Lord strengthen you to do just that.
