🌳 Do you feel rooted in Christ?? 🌳
“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving….For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him…” ~Col. 2:6–7; 9–10
Today’s verses are a great reminder for us about how we grow and live as Christians. There are two distinct forces at work in these verses.
Christ in us
Christ in us is the source of all our life and vitality as we walk through this life. He is the fullness of God…and He promises to dwell in us.
We have received Him! Without that, we can do nothing.
Our efforts
In response to this unending gift…God wants us to walk in Him. The image we read in this verse is being “rooted.”
That means we draw all our “nutrition” from Him. We are anchored by Him. We have our life and our being through Him. The state of the roots…will affect the entire tree.
Today — strive to establish and root all your activities, all your thoughts on Him.
