The Real Thing
“That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:10).
If you are a Christian, be the real thing! “Walk worthy of the Lord.” Perhaps you often want to know whether you can go here or there. A friend asks you to go with him somewhere. You are not sure whether it would be right. Whatever you do, don’t go and ask a good person if they would go, but go and ask the Lord. Wouldn’t you like to please the one that you love best? And whom do you love best now? JESUS. Then the answer is very simple: Will it please Him? Our thought should be, if it won’t please Him, it won’t please me. And if it doesn’t please Him, I don’t want to displease Him.
The rest of the verse says, “Being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.” If people look at their own experiences and feelings it will do them no good; but if they look at Christ, they will bring forth fruit to Him, for His glory, and for eternal blessing.
