…with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:3-4)

These are the characteristics of walking in worthiness. From reading the characteristics on this list, it is probably and highly likely that none of us reading this, or perhaps very few of us, actually embody these characteristics.

Maybe, perhaps we embody these characteristics to a degree and have limits to these characteristics because we don’t want to be stomped on by the society at large.

And there are those people whose very presence in our lives causes us to snap and take that unity and unite them with our fists.

But regardless, we walk far away from worthiness. I want to ponder for a moment: how can we embody these characteristics without being trampled by abusers and plain ‘ole jerk faced morons who try their best to bring us to a place where we’re at our worst?

The Apostle Paul simply says that we just need to look to Jesus who descended to humanity and “bear with us” even into death.

When we determine to be like Jesus the power of Jesus that has come down to us as he was resurrected from death will come upon us and give us the resolve to walk in worthiness.

The real question is, do you want to walk in a worthy manner? Better question, do you really believe Jesus gave you the power to walk in a worthy manner?

I want to say that you do want to walk in a worthy manner. Moreover, you know you have the power of Jesus to walk worthily.

So why not do that?
