Walking Worthy Of The Lord, Fully Pleasing Him

"We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and your love for all the saints, because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth; as you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, who also declared to us your love in the Spirit. 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; that you may WALK WORTHY OF THE LORD, FULLY PLEASING HIM, BEING FRUITFUL IN EVERY GOOD WORK and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power for all patience and longsuffering with joy;.........(Colossians 1:3-11)

PATIENCE AND LONGSUFFERING WITH JOY. 

"And shall God not avenge His own elect, who cry out day and night TO HIM (for Him), though He BEARS LONG WITH THEM?" (Luke 18:7) The joy comes as He reveals Himself to the saint: showing forth what reconciliation to Jesus Christ means; His perfect will in it!

So, how is the worthy walking, fully pleasing fruitfulness formed in these?

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be (successful) against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: 'For Your (His) sake we are killed all day long; We are counted as sheep for the slaughter.' Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither life nor death, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

None of those things will be able to separate us, but we can separate ourselves. If we don't KNOW the cost; if we don't KNOW the hope of Jesus Christ's calling; the Son's calling; a son's calling; your calling. Worthy walking/fully pleasing KNOWS and is willing to persevere WITH HIM in it.
