One of my “verse of the day” emails from K-Love this week was Colossians 2:6-7.
“6So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, 7rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
Receiving Christ as Lord of your life through baptism is the beginning of a life with Christ, but you must continue to follow His leadership by being rooted, built-up, and strengthened in the faith.
Jesus wants to guide you through your daily walk of faith and we can follow His leadership by:
· Seeking to learn from His life and teachings by studying His word. It takes dedication, muscle and a shovel to be rooted and built up in Him.
· Committing to live for Christ by submitting to His will, not yours, to receive His nourishment.
· And recognizing His power is in you and you can accomplish all things through Him who gives you strength.
As Christians, we draw our life-giving strength from and through Christ. The more we draw our strength from Him, the more we will be full with a thankfulness that only He can provide.
