Suggestions Commit yourself to active membership in the local church Commit yourself to zeal and dedication in your personal life as a Christian Commit yourself to be a good example to other Christians and the world Commit yourself to be, in every way, worthy of your calling in Christ

Ephesians 4:1-3 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Colossians 1:9-12 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

Conclusion What if everyone was like you? What would this congregation be like? Would the gospel of our Lord be spread? Would worship to God be in spirit and in truth? Would God be pleased?
