#BibleStudy Expressions of Faith. Whys. Colossians 1:10

Whys

so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 

Colossians 1:10  

Continuing the thought from v9, Paul gives four components of the life God has for the Colossians. 

These are the "whys" to follow God.

Live a worthy life—the life God has called us to live.

Please God—in every way. 

• Not just when you feel like it.
• Please God all the time.
• What? All the time?
• That’s the goal.

Bear fruit—converts and positive reactions—by doing God's good work. 

Grow in knowledge—pay attention to the things of God.

Can you check off 

• worthy life, 
• pleasing God, 
• bearing fruit, and 
• growing in knowledge?

If not, which one(s) are you lacking?

Admit your weak spot(s) 

Ask God 

• for forgiveness in the weak area(s) and
• for strength and understanding when and where you need it.

Accept help from fellow Christians.

Then, and I’m convinced that only then, you can please God all the time!
