Living a Life Worthy of God

"For this reason also, since the day we heard this, we haven’t stopped praying for you. We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God." ~ Colossians 1:9-10

How can anyone live a life that is worthy of God?
If God is perfect, does He expect perfection from us?
No. Our sins don't surprise God. If anything the one sure thing that God could expect from us is failure!
So, if He doesn't expect perfection, what does God desire from us?

He desires:

• Repentance, rather than rejection
• Love, rather than lip-service
• Worship, rather than works
• Obedience, rather than offering
• Relationship, rather than religion.
• Living a public faith, rather than a private faith
• Time with us, rather than testimonies from us
• Our pursuit of holiness, rather than giving us a perfect life
• Our desire to truly know Him, rather than just to know about Him
