Season 5 Episode 160

Scripture: Colossians 2:6–7In this episode of Meditations, we reflect on Paul’s instruction to continue walking in Christ just as we received Him. The Christian life does not only begin with Christ; it must continue in Christ. We are called to be rooted in Him, built up in Him, established in the faith, and overflowing with thanksgiving.Key Thoughts1.

Our private life with God must be strong if our public life will stand.3. Be built up in ChristGod is building character, maturity, endurance, wisdom, and faith in us. Christ is our foundation and our strength.4. Be established in the faithSound teaching matters. We cannot be stable in a faith we do not understand.5.

Let my roots go deeper in Your Word, in prayer, and in obedience. Build me up in Christ and establish me firmly in the faith. Let my life overflow with thanksgiving. In Jesus’ name, amen.
