Colossians 1:10. "That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;" GODLY LIVING. Spiritual intelligence doesn't come by chance. A person's mind and will are involved. God's Word has to be given more than a passing glance, Before the meaning of a text is solved. But when that happens, we can then expect The things happening in life to make good sense. No longer will we want God's things to neglect, But will want to serve Him with diligence.
The Christian life consists of a daily walk, On the road of practical obedience. Places I go, what I do, and even the way I talk, All reflect my attitude and spiritual intelligence. To walk worthy of the Lord is no small thing, His name and his words are in this way to be shown. The walk of faith is one way I am able to bring Those I know to the Christ and Him as Savior to own.
There are two kinds of work that people do. It may at first glance seem the same, but they're different. One's objective may be material gain, so when it is through Its objective will demand I be more efficient. The same work can be done for the Lord and His glory; That makes it a fruitful work with eternal gain. Then when the final account is added to His story, It will be the fruitful work of obedience, not just to make a name.
How can I increase my knowledge of God? Sixty years ago today; was when I came to know Him. An increasing knowledge comes through His Words; Spiritual truths are contained in and revealed through them. In order for me to know more about the Lord Jesus, I must read through the Gospels again and again. In the book of Acts and through all the epistles, The conduct of life and of the church is contained.
Moral excellence does not happen in just a moment,
Intelligence, obedience, and knowledge are all needed. It is true life as we know it begins in an instant, But real abundant life comes when God's truth is heeded. It is incumbent on me to diligently apply Myself to these three things, that I may continue to learn The depth of God's love and all the things grace does supply, That I, from the great privilege of serving God, will never turn.
"Father, I know there is nothing in me that deserves or earns the grace that Thou dost give. But to labor in Thy vineyard and harvest field is not some trivial matter. May all that I pass on to other people be always, and in every way, scriptural, spiritually intelligent, and practical. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
