005 - Walk Worthy
In Ephesians 4, Paul calls the church to “walk worthy” of the calling we have received. But before he ever tells us how to walk, he spends three chapters showing us what God has already done.
That order is important.
The gospel is not, “Walk worthy so God will bless you.” The gospel is, “Because God has already blessed you with every spiritual blessing in Christ…therefore, walk worthy.”
In this episode, Neil walks through Paul’s language in Ephesians 4 and shows how our lives are meant to carry the weight of the grace we’ve been given. The sacrifice of Jesus is not something we admire from a distance. It is something we respond to with our whole lives.
And thankfully, God has not left us to walk worthy in our own strength. He has given us the Holy Spirit, gifted leaders, and the Body of Christ to form us, equip us, and mature us until the invisible Christ becomes visible through His people again.
Refuse the lie of independence, walk worthy together, and show the world what God is like.
