Ephesians 4:1

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

What is the “vocation to which we are called”? 1 Corinthians 1:9 says that “you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord”. Our verse for today tells us to walk worthy of that calling, which means to live in such a way as to adorn the doctrine of Christ by living a pure and holy life, following that which is good, honest and true, and not running with rioters, fornicators, liars, and sinners of all sorts. “God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light , as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:5-7.
