A life worthy of the Lord

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The text from Colossians 1:9-14 provides an outline of a life worth living, a life that is worthy of the Lord. The passage emphasizes that this life would not be possible without the redemptive work that Jesus did for us. He rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the Kingdom of His beloved Son. To live a life worthy of the Lord, we need to be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all wisdom and spiritual intelligence. We need to walk pleasing Him in everything and bear fruit in every good work. Our goal in life should be to please the Lord and make our lives a source of pleasure to Him.

Living a life worthy of the Lord means dedicating oneself to pleasing Him and growing in the knowledge of God. Trials and tests are an essential aspect of this life, but they come with a promise of being strengthened with all might and patience. Through these struggles, one will discover new aspects of God and His anointing. The Lord covers us with His strength and glory, giving us the ability to endure and go the distance. A life worthy of the Lord is marked by joy and thanksgiving, celebrating even the smallest blessings. Ultimately, our lives please God, and that should fill us with joy and pride.

Your life is fabulous and pleasing to God. He has already qualified and made you fit to participate in the inheritance of the saints in light. None of us are truly worthy of the Lord, but He makes us fit to dwell in His presence and call Him Father. God has a purpose for each one of us and nothing can stand in the way of His redemptive work in our lives. The day of the Lord has come in our lives and by His grace and power, we are made worthy to serve such a good and generous God.

Colossians 1 beginning with verse 9 to 14. As we look up that text if we were to take a survey this morning and I ask you: why did you come to Church this morning, why did you come to this service? Good Pastor, because the 9 o'clock service is convenient for me, so I can get to work, have lunch or perhaps you have more sublime reasons; Pastor: I am sick and I want the Lord to heal me, or Pastor: I have a little legal problem and I need the Lord to enlighten me or for the Lord to reveal to me how to ride the wave. Pastor: My home is going through a crisis and I want the Lord to intervene. These are reasons.

If you have come up with those reasons, they are valid, welcome. But many others might answer this way: Pastor, I'm here because I want God to change my life. I want to change my life. And frankly, my brothers, in these days of consolidation, I think we can speak with great authority that this is the desire of our hearts, that this Congregation be filled with people who come to the House of God with that desire.
