In verse 1 we are told to walk worthy and in verse 17 we are told to no longer walk as other Gentiles. We should walk, (the way we behave in life), no longer in the same way as before salvation. Christ should have made a difference not just in our eternal destiny but in our earthy behavior. We are told to live out the Christian life as a true believer. We are told to be strengthened in God’s Holy Word so that we will not be persuaded, or derailed by every false teaching. We are to stand strong in biblical doctrine.
A Christian should be different inside and out. Live the life. Do your actions tell on you? Would someone ask you to do something on Sunday morning, or would they assume you will be in church? Would someone tell you an off color story or joke, or would they assume that you would not want to hear it? Do you mention church and your love for God in your daily speech? God calls us not to be normal but to be His! Be the child of God He died for and has called out to bring glory to His name.
