Living a Life Worthy of the Calling

Scripture: Ephesians 4:1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

Observation: I should be a prisoner for the Lord, doing what he requires of me, captured by his love for me, confined to the area of his grace and obedient to the call he has put on my life.

Application: To realize I’m not free to do what I want to do in my sinful nature any longer. I’m a prisoner of God’s love for me and will be obedient to the call he has put on my life. To serve him and others in his name, for my sentence is eternal life, because of the mercy of my Lord, Jesus.

Prayer: Dear Father thank you for calling me out of this world to serve you. I am a bondservant and freely give you this life as a living sacrifice and beg that you use it to glorify you.
