Patricia A. Conti Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Live a life worthy of our calling. Imitate Christ. In this secular world, our lives must stand out with christian values. We cannot simply profess our belief, we must live it. "They'll know we are Christians by our love."

cct1106 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Behave in a manner worthy of the good news about Jesus Christ. Listening (hearing his voice) about what is required of us and hear his commandments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haar Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Happy New Year Pastor Ralph and Fellow Course mates. I just just had access to the study now and want to join you who have already kicked off. I wish all of us of a wonderful time walking with and in the Lord this year. God bless you. And now, back to business. The standard of our behaviour is Jesus Christ. The meaning of the word 'Christian' is Christ-like. We are called to be like Christ in all our conduct. That means we should love like Him, hate sin like Him, seek the salvation of souls like Him and to seek and work for the unity of the saints like Him. He should be our example in every thing. The 'calling' to which God has called us is the call to be united with Him and with one one another, fallowing Him just as the disciples responded when he called them individually when He was on earth. As we respond to the call, we have to do everything to His glory and not ours. God bless us and help us to be like our Lord in every thing we do this year.

godsanointed523 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 our behavior is to be Christlike and to be like the Lord Jesus. Our calling to be followers of Jesus but to live in a way that can give God the Glory.It is special when people can look at us and look at the life that we are living and be able to say they are loving the Lord with all that they are.A calling is something that is very sacred and should be treasured especially when it comes to the Lord.It is so good to be back and i say hi to all my brothers and sisters in Christ on Joyful Heart,be blessed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken7 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Our Rock, our Standard Bearer is our Lord Jesus. Our calling is to Love God and Love One another. God told us He "expects" ...His expectation is that we do these things if we expect to worship Him in spirit and truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 We are prisoners for Christ. Spiritual unity with Christ, maintained by being loyal and adhering to the prodding of the Holy Spirit. We must live as Christ and do His work while we are here on earth in unity with other Christians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda bass Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 We are to live a life worthy of our calling. God has called us to follow Jesus. We need to live our lifes in such a way that we bring glory to God. We need to be careful not to do anything that would discredit our faith to non-believers. We should inspire to do our very best for God and to give Him our very best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Ofosu Anim Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Q1. (Ephesians 4:1) According to verse 1, what is the standard of our behavior? What is the "calling" to which God has called us? The life of christ is the standard for our behaviour. Jesus has shown us the kind of life that pleases the father. Everything about the life of Jesus is clearly written in the Bible. Therefore for Christians today who were not there when christ walked the surface of the earth, THE BIBLE IS THE STANDARD. God has called us to be disciples of Christ and we must walk as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickledilly Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Some years ago my husband bought a used Mercedes-Benz for me to drive. Yes it was an older car, but I had never had a Mercedes before, for goodness' sake! No longer could I just jump in the car in a t-shirt, denim shorts, and flipflops with no lipstick on! The essence of that car demanded a higher standard than that. There was a certain image that I felt I must uphold. A reputation to protect. I wanted to look like I was worth the worth of that name. And I had to drive more carefully because I just couldn't be seen pulled over by blue lights somewhere in that car! As a believer, the standard for my behavior is the "calling" to which I have been called. There is an expectation of quality and excellence for my life because of the quality and excellence of the call. The way I present myself and conduct my life should be affected by that call. Romans 8:28 says that I have been called according to the purpose of God. 1 Corinthians 1:9 says I have been called into the fellowship of Jesus Christ. 2 Timothy 1:9 says that my calling is to holiness. I have received a divine invitation to participate in the holiness of God by way of salvation through Jesus Christ. The challenge in this verse is to live a life worthy of that invitation.

Beadie Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Jesus is to be the standard of our behavior. We are to be like Him in all we say and do and even think. And, this is to be at all times, every day, always. Not just on Sunday or when it suits us. As professing Christians, we represent Jesus here and now. We represent not just Him, but also what He stands for. We represent Him always -- we speak for Him in our words and our actions. This is our calling, to be Him to others. By this we are known as His. We must do this to the full extent of our abilities in order to bring Him the glory. We show the world who He is as a group, not just as individuals. If there is no unity among Christians, only conflict, then this is how Christiantity and Jesus are perceived -- as a series of conflicts with no truth to be revealed.

hanks Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Q1. (Ephesians 4:1) According to verse 1, what is the standard of our behaviour? What is the "calling" to which God has called us? We are to behave as one body. We should be concentrating on the things that unite us: one Lord, one faith, one Spirit, and one God. Differences often cause division but if we make a determined effort these can be overcome, especially if we acknowledge the viewpoints of others. We are called to follow Jesus, to be like Him and also to bring glory to Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetmom Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I like this verse because he isn't telling us to live a certain way in order to earn the calling but to live in a way that reflects the salvation we already have. So this isn't about following rules. It's about living a life of gratitude for the awesome relationship we have with Christ. It's a good reminder to be intentional in the way we live our lives. So many times we focus on making sure that people "pray the prayer," and we leave it at that. I was one of those "prayers" who didn't really understand about living a life worthy of my calling for years. Again, we need to be conscious of how we're living every day, not as a way to earn God's love but as a way to respond to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wifee Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 1a)The only Jesus often people will see is that shown through our lives. We show the world who He is as a group, not just as individuals. If there is no unity among Christians, only conflict, then this is how Christianity and Jesus are perceived -- as a series of conflicts with no truth to be revealed. The standard must be live a life worthy of the Lord. "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. Jesus replied. Therefore it is what the Lord would be doing, in Kindness, gentleness, humility, patience, longsuffering and fierce justice. The “calling” to which God has called us is to follow Jesus, to be his disciples, to be like him and glorify God in all we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
