What is a "Worthy Walk"?
Commentators explain that to “walk worthily of God” means to live in a way that honors Him, much like a devoted child honors a loving parent. It involves a continuous lifestyle of moral purity and obedience that reflects God's character to the world and avoids bringing reproach to His name. It is the practical, daily response to God's gracious call.
