Walk worthy of God

That ye would walk worthy of God,

who hath called you unto his kingdom

and glory. I Thessalonians 2:12

God hath called us with an holy calling, to enjoy a holy Saviour, believe a holy gospel, possess a holy nature, and walk in a holy way. All the provisions of free grace, all the promises of infinite love, and all the precepts of reigning holiness, united to require us to be holy people under the Lord our God.

We are to imitate the conduct of our God; He feeds His foes, loves His people, and always acts becoming His glorious character.

Enemies will lie in wait to deceive you, errors will be broached to mislead you; but beware,

lest being led away by the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own steadfastness.

Consider your character, -- children of God; your high privileges, -- united to Jesus, temples of the Holy Ghost, companions of saints and angels, the friends of God; your destination, --to fill a throne of glory, wear a blood-bought crown, and reflect the praises of Jehovah for ever.

Walk worthy of God, suitable to your character, profession, and destination.

Walk with God; walk as Jesus walked; walk circumspectly; walk in love; walk honestly as in the day; so will you adorn your profession, and secure to yourself comfort and peace.

When thus we walk with God and man,

The life and conscience clean,

Our faith assumes a body then,

And may be felt and seen.

James Smith
