WALK IN HIM

Colossians 2:6-7

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.

Personal Challenge

The Scriptures make it clear in so many different verses, that our salvation in Christ is not a single point in time event in our lives. We are not saved by saying some special prayer and then being done with it. Salvation is the process of Jesus working in our lives, our minds, hearts, and souls, day after day, moment after moment, until that blessed day that we leave this temporal body and join Him in His kingdom. This ongoing salvation process also requires that we are active contributors to it. Here we are admonished to walk in Christ, not just stand still, but to move forward in our relationship with Him. We are to be building up our lives in Him by prayer, reading of the Scriptures, participating in the liturgy and sacraments, and doing good works for Him. We must be actively building and establishing our faith in Him. The rest of our temporal life is to be walking in Him. Glory be to God!
