Colossians 2:6-7

"Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving." Col 2:6-7

How did you receive Christ Jesus the Lord? By faith. How are you to walk in Him? By faith? What does walking in faith look like? Rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith [doctrine, teachings of the Bible] and abounding in thanksgiving.

Is that all? Yes. That rounds out living by faith quite well. But what does that mean? It means that by looking to Jesus as the source of life I trust Him to be the supremely sufficient reality that I need for life. It means I recognize those things in life for what they are: temporary necessities (or not) and value most what God values most. How do I do this? By spending time with Him in His word so that he can show me what He values.

Father in Heaven, thank You for coming to earth.
Son beside us, thank You for showing us the way to Heaven.
Spirit within us, thank You for moving us there.

Have you spent time in God's Word today?

Rooted in Him,
Pastor Greg
