Worthy of the Calling.

Ephesians 4v1-7
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

When we accepted Christ we became worthy of his calling; living as he did and spreading the power and love of his life (and death) to the world. Let us live according to that calling, exemplifying all who Jesus was and is to further his kingdom and remembering not to shy away from the sinner but to be an example of the great love that Jesus brought to this world.
