As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. (Colossians 2:6-7)
“Walk” is the familiar NT term denoting the believer’s daily conduct. To walk in Christ is to live life patterened after His life, to love what He loves, and to hate what He hates. Our foundation is faith based on the solid ground of bibilical truth, sound doctrine from which we grow from by what life brings to us, and how we respond to it from a learned bibilical response. In other words, spiritual maturity develops upward from the foundation of bibilical truth as taught from Scripture; then put into practical application. Rooted and built up – Established in His Word, Christ followers are now identifying their lives with His words in their hearts, reaching decisions and finding direction from the unfolding truth from which we accept by faith as His will for our lives. One of the key elements in being rooted and grounded in Christ is His love for you. You are the apple of His eye. His love for you has no limits and is unconditional. In your walk of service to Him can’t make God love you any more than He already does, just like your sins you have commited can’t make Him love you any less!
Beloved friend, walk in victory today because of the great love that God has for you in His Son, Christ the Lord. Be rooted and grounded in His love and you will have confidence that is needed to be His witnesses of His grace and goodness.
May the Lord bless your walk today!
