LIVING THROUGH CHRIST JESUS

” LET YOUR ROOTS GROW DOWN DEEP INTO HIM, AND LET YOUR LIVES BE BUILT ON HIM. ” COLOSSIANS 2:7

” SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN RAISED TO NEW LIFE WITH CHRIST, SET YOUR SIGHTS ON THE REALITIES OF HEAVEN, WHERE CHRIST SITS IN THE PLACE OF HONOR AT GOD’S RIGHT HAND. THINK ABOUT THE THINGS OF HEAVEN, NOT THE THINGS OF THIS EARTH.” COLOSSIANS 3:1-2

When we begin our lives with Jesus we begin as a babe in Christ. It is a new learning experience. We need to start out with soft food, just as a baby does and work our way into the more solid foods. We must continue to grow in Christ. We must never allow ourselves to become stagnant thinking that we have grown enough and need nothing else. We are told to let our roots grow deep into Jesus and his way of life. We are to continue to study and meditate upon his word morning and night. No matter how long we have been a Christian we must continue to grow. Our Lord is very clear in his message to us that we are to set our sights on heaven and not earth. We are to focus on the realities of heaven and live a life with the Lord of heaven by our side. Everything we go through on this earth should be dealt with by our focus on Jesus in heaven. Our answers don’t lie within reach here in this world, but they are with Our Lord Jesus. He provides his children with all the necessary tools in which to live a life of peace and joy upon this earth. However, we must go to him and ask him for his help. Then we must believe in the help. We must not doubt but believe to receive. Doubt, worry and fear will weaken our faith and not allow us to live the life God wants us to live. So, we should continue to focus on things of heaven and not the things of this world. If we do, we will continue to grow and be strong in our Lord. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
