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.
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!
