And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God. Colossians 1:10
A characteristic of those in God’s will is continued spiritual growth. There are two elements of spiritual growth that come together in this verse: valuable service (fruit) and growth in knowledge of God. “Bearing fruit in every good work” refers to the reproductive aspect of the Christian’s calling. A natural product of our Christian life must be the fruit of the Spirit evident in our lives. Second, there will be an increase in the knowledge of God. We, as believers, should be ever increasing in our knowledge of God, both mentally and spiritually. This should be a primary goal or motivation of our life. Paul, in his testimony to the Philippians (3:10), stating emphatically, “I want to know Christ…” Paul’s prayer is that we may live a life worthy of, and pleasing to, the Lord; to do that we are to bear fruit in every good work and grow in the knowledge of God.
About Me
Isaiah 43:19-21
"See I am doing a new thing! Now it spings up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland, give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise."
