Walking Worthily

Col 1:9 ASV - For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.   And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.   When we come to God and surrender to his cross , than our bodies become that living sacrifice .  We are no longer of this world , we live in it but we are no longer of this world.  Jesus was in this world and he was reveling his father to the people . Jesus told Pilate my kingdom is not of this world .      Luk 17:20 ASV - And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 ASV - neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
Luk 17:24 ASV - for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day.    Jesus said the anti Christ will come to deceive many ,  he also said Col 1:26 ASV - even the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints,
Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

 The kingdom of God is Christ in you the hope of Glory .   Holding fast to this word we will not be deceived in that day , for Christ by his spirit will be in you and we will know the power of his word for us that believe .  He said he will light up the heavens from one end to the other he is that glorious light of truth.

Col 1:10 ASV - to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;   but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind ,   and how do we renew our mind Lord .   By his word Fashioned Greek  In Rom 12:2 being outwardly "conformed" to the things of this age is contrasted with being "transformed" (or transfigured) inwardly by the renewal of the thoughts through the Holy Spirit's power. A similar distinction holds good in Phl 3:21; the Lord will "fashion anew," or change outwardly, the body of our humiliation, and "conform" it in its nature (summorphos) to the body of His glory.
Transformed in Greek of believers, Rom 12:2, "be ye transformed," the obligation being to undergo a complete change which, under the power of God, will find expression in character and conduct; morphe lays stress on the inward change, schema (see the preceding verb in that verse, suschematizo) lays stress on the outward (see FASHION, No. 3, FORM, No. 2); the present continuous tenses indicate a process; 2Cr 3:18 describes believers as being "transformed (RV) into the same image" (i.e., of Christ in all His moral excellencies), the change being effected by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said I am the door no man can come unto the father but by me ,  Jesus was the sower of the seed of his Father and he was sowing the seed of Gods word . Jesus said when this seed falls into fertile ground of faith it will produce an hundread fold of fruit .   Mar 4:20 ASV - And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold.
 Greek: karpophoreo  Fruit (Bear), Fruitful, Unfruitful:
"to bear or bring forth fruit" (see B, No. 1), is used in the natural sense, of the "fruit of the earth," Mar 4:28;  metaphorically, of conduct, or that which takes effect in conduct, Mat 13:23; Mar 4:20; Luk 8:15; Rom 7:4, 5 (the latter, of evil "fruit," borne "unto death," of activities resulting from a state of alienation from God); Col 1:6 in the Middle Voice; Col 1:10.  For "bring forth fruit to perfection," Luk 8:14 ASV - And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

This word of God has the power to save your souls God is no respecter of persons all have sinned and fell short of Gods grace . 
Col 1:11 ASV - strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;    To walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work
Col 1:12 ASV - giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;  Being saved by his Grace being made sufficient to receive this redemption through Jesus and his blood.
Col 1:13 ASV - who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;   
Col 1:14 ASV - in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:
Col 1:15 ASV - who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
Image   of believers, in their glorified state, not merely as resembling Christ but representing Him, Rom 8:29; 1Cr 15:49; here the perfection is the work of Divine grace; believers are yet to represent, not something like Him, but what He is in Himself, both in His spiritual body and in His moral character
