We are asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God…(Colossians 1:9-10)
“Fully pleasing.”
Those words struck me this morning. I want to be fully pleasing to God. And yet there are many times I fall short. Times when I don’t walk worthy of the Lord.
And yet, Paul also says these words:
But now he has reconciled you by his physical body through his death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before him… (22)
No, I don’t always walk worthy of the Lord. No, I’m not always fully pleasing to him.
And yet because of what Jesus did on the cross, I’m holy, faultless, and blameless before him.
In short, I’m accepted.
Fully accepted.
How about you?
Do you walk with Jesus each day with that assurance?
