Echoes from Ephesians: Walk Worthy
Walk Worthy
Ephesians 4:1–6
Guest Speaker: Pastor Scott Loo
Ephesians 4:1–6
Guest Speaker: Pastor Scott Loo
Quick Glance: For Your Heart Today
In a world that pulls us in many directions, Ephesians 4:1–6 calls us back to the foundation of our shared identity in Christ. Through the Apostle Paul’s urging, we’re reminded that our lives should reflect the calling we’ve received—a calling to unity, humility, patience, and love. Pastor Scott Loo invited us to consider whether we are truly “walking worthy” of that calling, not just in moments of worship, but in our everyday steps. When we count our steps, are we making them count?
3 Takeaways
1. Your Walk Reflects Your Calling.
You’ve been called by God—personally, powerfully, purposefully. Let each step reflect the worthiness of that calling.
2. Christlike Character Sustains Unity.
Humility, gentleness, and patience are not optional extras for Christian living—they are essential traits that help us live out our identity and stay unified in a divided world.
3. We Are One in Christ.
Despite our differences in background, politics, or personality, the Spirit binds us together in one body, one hope, one faith, one baptism, and one Lord. Our unity is rooted in eternity.
If You Only Have a Moment
Take a breath and receive this truth today:
Inhale: “Worthy is the call…”
Exhale: “…and I will walk it with love.”

Scripture Text: Ephesians 4:1–6 (NLT)
Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all.
Paul’s exhortation in Ephesians 4:1–6 urges believers to live a life that reflects the calling of Christ—a calling not only rooted in grace but revealed through character and unity. Pastor Scott opened by reminding us that walking worthy isn’t abstract; it’s daily, tangible, and intentional. It means “walking around in a worthy manner,” where each step reflects the spiritual identity secured in chapters 1–3 of Ephesians.
From that foundation, Pastor Scott walked us through four powerful truths:
1. Walk Worthy of Your Calling.
Because we belong to Christ, our lives should reflect that belonging. Paul urges us to live in a way that matches the high calling we’ve received—one that unites rather than divides, that reveals God’s love and reconciling work through Jesus.
2. Walk with Humility, Gentleness, and Patience.
These traits aren’t optional—they’re essential. Pastor Scott shared a retreat story where participants were asked to pray with someone they found difficult. Through prayer, people softened, began to see each other’s humanity, and grew in compassion. Sometimes, the most heroic spiritual act is simply showing patience.
3. Walk as One Body.
Pastor Scott emphasized the oneness of the church—one Lord, one faith, one baptism. He challenged us to let go of comparison and division, including the kind that happens between churches. The enemy thrives on disunity, but God calls us to a unified body—stronger together.
4. Walk with Hope for the Future.
Using a rope marked with knots to represent our life and eternity, Pastor Scott reminded us of the future hope that fuels our present walk. He pointed us to Revelation 7:9–12—a vision of every nation, tribe, and people worshipping God together. That future fuels our faith now.
He closed with this charge: “Count your steps, but make your steps count.” The call is already ours—let’s walk worthy of it, together.
