Continuing in Christ, allows us to experience the fullness of his power.
=======================
Scripture
Colossians 2:6-8
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental forces of this world rather than on Christ.”
Observation
A healthy relationship with Christ results in a life that is grounded, growing, increasing in strength, and overflowing. His power and truth allows us to live in freedom, recognize error, and see through the deceptive philosophies of this world. Continuing in Christ, allows us to experience the fullness of his power.
Application
What an assurance we read here, of the power of Christ! Our world is so often ruled by fear, weakened by constant change and turmoil, and manipulated by deception and half-truths. Through it all, Christ remains unchanging, trustworthy, loving, sufficient, and available to all.
I want to experience all that He offers me. Not merely settle for Christ being an acquaintance that I run into from time to time–but rather that He would be the foundation of my life, and the one I walk with daily.
Prayer
God, thank you for who you are! Thank you for being unchanging and certain. I choose to walk daily in relationship with you–rooted in your word, and grounded in your truth.
