--GOD'S PRESENCE
Colossians 1:9-14

Walk worthy
of the Lord.
--Colossians 1:10 -

What would we have to do to display the presence of God? People would have to live like Him!

Dynamics like hospitality, the loving acceptance of all kinds of people, a quickness to serve, a tangible love for one another that makes people feel safe and included regardless of color or class, and a patient tolerance of one another's weaknesses would all be a great way to start.

Paul said we should walk in a manner "worthy of the Lord" (Col. 1:10). And he also said that being worthy means that we will be humble, gentle, bearing with one another in love, eagerly maintaining the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Eph. 4:2-3).

Let's live in such a way that others will experience the presence of the God who lives in us--wherever we are!

The world gets a glimpse of God
When those who claim to be
The followers of Jesus Christ
Are living righteously.
---
Those who walk with Christ
bring the presence of God to everyone around them.
