The Spiritual Walk: being a prisoner for the Lord

The Spiritual Walk: being a prisoner for the Lord by ric gustafson


Ephesians 4:1- as a prisoner for the Lord, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have recieved.


Those who believe are the body of Christ and we represent God in the world. I believe that God wants us to start our spiritual walk by walking out his plan. In Ephesians 2:10 it says that we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus. Jesus wants to show us his plan and teach us how to walk in him.  To be a prisoner for the Lord means to be totally in subjection to Jesus.
This spiritual walk involves walking in step with the Lord and staying in beat with the Holy Spirit. One day, the call of God will come and how we respond to that call is very important. God's calling will urge us to do something outside of our grasp and comfort zone. God wants us to take a step forward and have faith in him. When we walk in Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit is always beside us and our walk will head toward our ultimate goal. That goal and call is to be conformed to the image of Christ Jesus and that pleases God very much.
